Brandon Jennings starts at point guard in place of ill C.J. Watson

An injury and an illness prompted the Orlando Magic to shuffle their starting lineup for their game Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets.

Brandon Jennings started at point guard after C.J. Watson missed the morning shootaround because of an intestinal illness. Watson played Tuesday night, but coach Scott Skiles thought it would be easier to manage Watson's minutes if he brought Watson off the bench.

The rest of the lineup remained the same, with Jennings joining Victor Oladipo, Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon and Dewayne Dedmon in the starting five.
