Beat writer K.C. Johnson expects Ronnie Brewer to start at small forward in place of Luol Deng (wrist).
Deng's wrist injury was serious enough that he needed an MRI and was at the doctor Monday. Brewer could be looking at a fistful of consecutive starts. The defensive stopper started 10 games at shooting guard earlier this season, averaging 7.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. Brewer's offensive skills are capped and he'll share minutes with Kyle Korver.
