Merrill will start Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was deployed off the bench Thursday against Golden State and then sat out Sunday's clash against the Pacers due to a minor hamstring issue. However, he'll be inserted into the starting lineup Monday with James Harden (personal), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), Dean Wade (ankle) and Max Strus (foot) all sidelined. Merrill is averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his last five appearances as a starter.
