Hinrich to start, Robinson back to the bench
Kirk Hinrich - G - Chicago Bulls

Kirk Hinrich (elbow), who is expected to return on Tuesday, is also expected to start, meaning Nate Robinson will head back to the bench.
It's too bad. Robinson averages 13.7 points, 7.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.9 3-pointers as a starter this season, while Hinrich checks in with averages of 7.0 points, 5.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 3-pointers over 40 games as the starting point guard. Owners who have been riding Robinson should look elsewhere now that Hinrich is healthy, but the veteran PG has battled health issues all season, so it could just be a matter of time until Robinson gains solid value again.
