Merrill (hand) is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Merrill will return from a six-game absence with a sprained right hand Wednesday, and he will fill the void in the first unit left behind by the injured Evan Mobley (calf). Across his last seven starts, Merrill has averaged 16.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.
