Rotowire
Arcidiacono (back) logged 17 minutes in Sunday's 127-110 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal.

Damian Lillard sat out Sunday with a calf injury and could be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, and if that's the case, Arcidiacono will be a prime candidate to move out of the rotation entirely.
