Memphis starting Andrew Harrison in place of Mike Conley (eye)

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Andrew Harrison will start for Mike Conley (eye) against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Harrison will be thrown into the fire against Russell Westbrook only a day after he was a DNP-CD. In 17 previous starts this season, the 22-year-old rookie has averaged 7.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 3-pointers. Wade Baldwin will the Grizzlies' backup point guard.

numberFire's models believe Harrison will record 8.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 3-pointers in 28.7 minutes versus Oklahoma City.
