Returning C.J. Watson to the lineup will be a tricky balance

Scott Skiles has options for a change at point guard. The team’s trade to acquire Brandon Jennings and the subsequent return of C.J. Watson after a 40-plus-game absence suddenly gave the coach a seeming embarrassment of riches at point guard. At least compared to what it was before the trade.

Skiles opted to play C.J. Watson for the final 18:38 of Tuesday’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Elfrid Payton was struggling on defense and Brandon Jennings became a ghost after a silly foul in the backcourt right before halftime.
