OKLAHOMA CITY – Alvin Gentry announced a New Orleans starting lineup change roughly 90 minutes before tip-off Sunday, opting to switch the recent roles of Tim Frazier and E’Twaun Moore. As a result, Moore will start next to point guard Jrue Holiday vs. Oklahoma City, while Frazier will come off the bench for the first time in 2016-17. The 6-foot-1 Frazier had been sharing playmaking duties with Holiday in a two-point guard alignment, but New Orleans (7-13) will go to a more traditional backcourt.
“That gives us a little more size and more shooting (in the starting lineup),” Gentry said of the move.
