John Salmons: Expected to Start Tuesday

Update: Even though Luol Deng has a bruised right shin and not a stress fracture as originally feared according to an MRI Sunday, Salmons is expected to start at small forward in place of Deng Tuesday against Charlotte, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Recommendation: Salmons, who has averaged 15 points in five games since the Bulls acquired him from Sacramento on Feb. 19, has seen an increase in playing time since playing 25 minutes in his first game as a Bull. He gives Chicago a solid scorer and defender at the two- and three-spot.
