Jordan is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan will re-enter the starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 10 as he takes the place of Talen Horton-Tucker. The 33-year-old has played just 12 combined minutes over the last five games and likely will only get around 15 minutes despite returning to the starting unit.

Jordan isn't starting Friday's game against Minnesota, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan drew starts in each of the last four games and averaged 4.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per contest during that time. Wayne Ellington will take his place in the starting five Friday.

Jordan is starting Thursday versus Oklahoma City, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Because LeBron James (abdomen) is out, the Lakers are reverting to a traditional starting lineup featuring two big men. Jordan will play alongside Anthony Davis again. The former averaged 4.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks during Lakers games in which he was one of their starters.

Jordan will come off the bench for Sunday's game against Houston, Dan Woike of the LA Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the first time this season, the Lakers will go away from their super-sized frontcourt and roll out a smaller lineup featuring Avery Bradley and Russell Westbrook at the guard spots, with Kent Bazemore and LeBron James at forward. Anthony Davis will slide up to center to combat Houston's Christian Wood. Through his first six games, Jordan averaged 4.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 13.5 minutes.

Jordan is expected to start Tuesday's opener against the Warriors, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Lakers have made it explicitly clear that Anthony Davis will play considerably more center this season, they'll already pivot away from that mandate on Opening Night. Haynes reports that coach Frank Vogel will go with a lineup of Jordan, Davis, LeBron James, Kent Bazemore and Russell Westbrook to combat the Warriors' lineup -- which also features a traditional center -- of Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney.

Jordan is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan will enter the starting lineup with the Lakers going with a bigger rotation to begin the game. He'll likely split minutes with Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis in the frontcourt.

Jordan (rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan will take a seat for Tuesday's exhibition, which is the Lakers' penultimate game of the preseason. Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard should handle most of the work at center for Los Angeles.

Jordan (rest) will play Wednesday against the Suns but will get Friday's game against the Warriors off for rest, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dwight Howard (rest) is off Wednesday and will presumably play Friday. It's still not exactly clear how much time both players will get in the regular season with Anthony Davis expected to start at center.

Jordan could sit out the Lakers' game Wednesday against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Frank Vogel noted one of Jordan or Dwight Howard will get the second preseason game off for rest.

Jordan finished Sunday's preseason opener against the Nets with seven points (1-2 FG, 5-8 FG), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan got the starting nod at center, while Anthony Davis started alongside him at the four and Dwight Howard served as the No. 2 center off the bench. The Lakers have indicated that Davis will play more center this season, but Jordan and Howard will still get some looks against certain matchups. Fantasy-wise, Jordan's role will likely be too inconsistent to warrant much attention in season-long leagues.
