Thunder's Alex Abrines: Will get the start Friday

Abrines will draw a spot start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Lakers, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Victor Oladipo is missing his first game of the season due to back spasms, so Abrines will get the start as a result. Oladipo's injury was unexpected, and the severity is unknown, so should he miss any more time Abrines could continue to be in line for an increased workload. Both he and the newly acquired Doug McDermott figure to get the majority of Oladipo's minutes on Friday.
