NBA Sit or Start Guide

Bismack Biyombo (San Antonio Spurs)

With Wembanyama out, Biyombo has a clear opportunity to step up on the defensive end. His ability to protect the rim and secure rebounds is expected to increase as the Spurs lean on him for more minutes. His potential for double-doubles and blocks makes him a valuable starter this week.

Start

Toumani Camara (Portland Trail Blazers)

Camara has emerged as a versatile contributor for the Blazers, playing significant minutes due to team injuries. His contributions in rebounds, steals, and overall hustle make him a reliable starter who can add value across multiple categories.

Start

Donte DiVincenzo (Minnesota Timberwolves)

DiVincenzo's role has diminished with the return of key players, reducing his offensive opportunities and consistency. His limited minutes and reduced scoring make him a candidate to sit this week, allowing more reliable options to take on the starting role.
