EDGE Analysis

Despite not starting since Dec. 30, Rondo was given the nod at point guard as part of coach Fred Hoiberg's plan to provide the offense with a jolt. Coming off a five-game losing streak, it seems safe to assume Rondo will receive a second straight start against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. However, Rondo hasn't been a model for consistency in years, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise if he regresses against one of the league's top defenses. Rondo is averaging 30.2 minutes per game in starts, but only 21.1 minutes per off the bench, and his 25.8 minute average for the year is the least he he has seen since his rookie campaign.
