Head coach Steve Kerr hasn't hesitated to switch up his lineups in the midst of several injuries during the past two weeks — at one point running with a completely different unit than the one he's started with after the All-Star break.
This shuffle of the pieces should help these players gauge where they stand before decisions have to be made prior to the start of the playoffs.
Bell has earned a spot as one of the spark plugs of this team, but he will need to keep healthy and show resiliency during these last few games of the season to consolidate his place in the rotation.
Injuries to David West and Omri Casspi have helped Bell get some floor time in the last few games, but he will need to outstage the latter most likely to garner Kerr's favor once the deadline comes by.
