Analysis:

The Grizzlies made a last minute switch to their Starting lineup Thursday, moving Stephenson in with the starting five in place of Briante Weber. Thursday will mark Stephenson's first start at point guard this season, but in his 10 other starts as a small forward, he has averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds over 21.8 minutes. However, with the Grizzlies dealing with an extremely thin roster, Stephenson could be in line for an above average amount of playing time against the Bucks.
