What It Means:

With the Pistons out of playoff contention and focused on getting their young players some playing time, Leuer had been moved to the bench in favor of Ellenson, playing fewer than five minutes over the two games Ellenson started. Don't expect Leuer to see a big workload even as a starter, and Ellenson will likely continue to see minutes into the 20's off the bench.

numberFire's models project Ellenson for 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.2 minutes of action against the Magic tonight.
