Harris supplied 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes in a 114-109 win over the Rockets on Friday.
Coach Stan Van Gundy made yet another change in the starting lineup at power forward, though it was rookie Henry Ellenson who received the nod Friday rather than Harris or Jon Leuer, who was dropped from the rotation entirely. Harris saw a downturn in playing time while Ellenson delivered a double-double (15 points, 11 boards in 26 minutes), which should garner Ellenson at least one more turn in the starting five. However, because Harris still played well in his own right Friday, Ellenson may not have a long leash if he struggles to make an early impact in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, which could allow Harris to recover some minutes. The 22 minutes were the fewest Harris had seen since Feb. 13 against the Bucks.
