Not starting Thursday
Timme won't start Thursday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
With LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Timme will retreat to the second unit. The big man isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time Thursday, and he has averaged 1.8 points across 7.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Starting vs. OKC
Timme will start Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
The Lakers will be without multiple key contributors Tuesday, opening the door for Timme to make his first start of the season. He's averaging 3.1 points in 8.1 minutes per contest across 23 regular-season games, though he'll likely see a significant bump in minutes against the Thunder.
