If Bell would start, it would be at shooting guard, with Michael Redd moving to small forward in place of Ilyasova. If Noel would start, it would be in place of Ilyasova with Redd remaining at shooting guard.

Charlie Villanueva's torn left elbow ligament is continuing to keep him on the sidelines, but a return is now in sight.
