J.J. Hickson (shoulder) will start for the Blazers on Friday.
Hickson is averaging 10.3 points and 10.6 rebounds in under 29 minutes per game this season, though his value is diminished by sub-part FT shooting (65 percent) and his typical lack of steals (0.5) or blocks (0.5). His return will send Meyers Leonard back to the bench, so use him as you have been.
