NBC SportsMax Christie, Naji Marshall, Khris Middleton, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Christie is back after missing Friday's loss to the Timberwolves and will be in the starting lineup. However, it will be Tyus Jones who heads to the bench, likely shifting more playmaking responsibilities onto Naji Marshall. That's a positive development for those who have him rostered.
