Heat C Greg Oden to start Monday vs. Trail Blazers

Miami Heat center Greg Oden will get the nod at center Monday against the Blazers, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Oden is facing off against the team that drafted him for the first time, which marks his fifth start of the season. In the previous four, he put up modest output -- four points (on 50 percent shooting), four rebounds, and one block in 13 minutes per game -- which is only helpful in incredibly deep formats.
