The Lakers are for now listing Shannon Brown as the starting shooting guard, with Kobe Bryant moving to small forward, in their tentative starting lineup for the critical Game 3 Friday night in Dallas.

Usual starting small forward Ron Artest, who played every game this season, is on one-game NBA suspension.

Phil Jackson can change it up at any time before the game starts, with Matt Barnes, Luke Walton or even Lamar Odom as other options.
