Luis Scola expected to start at center
Luis Scola - F/C - Phoenix Suns
March 8, 2013 - 1:20 AM ET

Luis Scola is expected to shift to the starting center spot in the wake of Marcin Gortat's foot injury.

"Scola is crafty and more capable of doing it (playing center) for extended periods of time than Keef would be," coach Lindsey Hunter said. They will miss Gortat for possibly the season and Jermaine O'Neal is out for a personal issue, but he could be back in a few games. Scola doesn't have much upside since he doesn't block shots, but he'll be worth a look in standard leagues for those seeking boards and points.
