Bismack Biyombo will start against the Clippers today at 3:30 PM EST.

In 14 games this season, Biyombo is averaging 17 minutes and producing 4.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and .9 blocks a game. He’s shooting a surprising 74% from the stripe as well. Biyombo has started 136 games in his career, playing 28.4 minutes and averaging 5.7 points and 7.7 rebounds.

Going up against Jordan should be a manageable matchup for Biyombo who likes to stay close to the basket, and Jordan isn’t the type of player that can pull Biyombo out of his comfort zone. Here’s hoping Dwane Casey assesses the matchup on the night before making the starting C decision.

Of course, this is all happening because Jonas Valanciunas is now expected to be out for about 6 weeks.
