Gilbert Arenas may lose backup point guard job — at least temporarily

Orlando Magic PG Gilbert Arenas, who was benched in the second half of Game 2 because of his inconsistent play, may find himself without guaranteed minutes moving forward in the playoffs.

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said he hasn’t yet made a decision on the backup point guard position for tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Van Gundy used SF Hedo Turkoglu as the team’s backup point guard during the second half on Tuesday.

"I don't know what we're doing," Van Gundy said. "I haven't decided exactly what we're doing. I know Jameer's going to play a lot of minutes. I know we're going to use J.J. [Redick off the bench], I know we're going to use Q[uentin Richardson] and I know we're going to use Ryan [Anderson].

"As far as what we do at the backup point, I'm not totally sure."
