Saunders would not reveal who he planned to start in place of Billups for the game today against Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns — but it’s pretty clear Flip Murray is the leading candidate.

“Flip will play, Will (Blalock) will play,” Saunders said. “You will see different people and different types of lineups.”

Saunders also said that small forward Tayshaun Prince could be used to run the offense.
