Thunder's Semaj Christon: Will start at point guard Tuesday

Christon will start at point guard in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

The Thunder are resting Russell Westbrook ahead of their upcoming playoff run, affording Christon his first start of the season. The rookie should benefit from a big bump in usage with Westbrook unavailable, but his erratic shooting -- he owns a 34.6 percent mark from the field for the season -- will likely limit his upside as a DFS option. He'll likely share the load at point guard with Norris Cole.
