The Trail Blazers are looking for a spark and coach Nate McMillan will replace Nicolas Batum with Wesley Matthews in the starting lineup.

"When you're dropping games like we are, you just need to shake up some things and we're limited in how many positions we can shake up," McMillan said. "We just need to take a look at something different."

McMillan experimented with the move during Sunday night's 98-96 loss at New Jersey, starting Matthews in the second half.
