DeShawn Stevenson News: Stevenson will start at shooting guard Wednesday against Miami, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Coach Larry Drew has decided to trot out a bigger lineup to combat the Heat, with Stevenson guarding Dwyane Wade, Josh Smith

Stevenson will start at shooting guard Wednesday against Miami, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Coach Larry Drew has decided to trot out a bigger lineup to combat the Heat, with Stevenson guarding Dwyane Wade, Josh Smith covering LeBron James, and Al Horford drawing Chris Bosh.

Stevenson will take over the two-guard slot from Devin Harris, whose run could be held down due to a sore left foot. Meanwhile, Stevenson has started 17 games this season, averaging 6.5 points (on 34.9 percent shooting), 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 25.9 minutes. Since the Hawks are not playing a back-to-back set, he should be able to endure decent playing time on his sore knees.
