Man not that my thinking about it is gonna do any good, but was having a thought this morning about do you start Precious or Miles and I thought how about neither? I think maybe you start Burks. Burks gives you more size than Miles and more importantly, if Brunson is hobbled, he gives you additional shot creation in the SL. He is probably (sadly) the next best guy on the roster to break down the defense and get his own shot. I know last week I was digging his grave, but a cpl decent games in a row now, it seems he can be relied upon to get some buckets. He adds a shooter to the lineup as another outlet for Brun besides DDV - especially from the corners, so it replaces some of what you lost with OG.
Keeps Miles as a sparkblug off the bench for defense and 3 pt shooting. Precious can focus on playing the 5 behind Hartenstein. Maybe you bag this Sims minutes. Still a player short, but I think this may balance the team better.
