Shannon Brown benched, Tucker starts vs. OKC
Shannon Brown - G/F - Phoenix Suns

Shannon Brown will move to the bench temporarily on Monday, allowing P.J. Tucker to defend Kevin Durant as a starter.

Jared Dudley will shift to SG but this is a matchup-based shuffle, and Alvin Gentry has already said that Brown will resume starting against the 76ers on Wednesday. Tucker doesn't have appeal as a spot-starter and Brown's numbers shouldn't take too big of a hit.
