Sochan will start in Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sochan will receive the starting nod over Keita Bates-Diop Thursday, but fantasy managers should still temper expectations for Sochan considering he has failed to record more than 23 minutes since returning from injury. However, more offensive opportunities should be available with Keldon Johnson (hamstring) sidelined.
