Maluach will start in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Maluach will start over Oso Ighodaro on Opening Night, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Miles Bridges. Maluach can rack up the boards and defensive stats when given the minutes, so getting the starting nod in the regular-season opener is great for his fantasy outlook.
