The reigning Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 18.7 points, 5.7 assists and 3.1 rebounds per contest this season.
As for Harrell, he remains outside the NBA bubble. In fact, he could be out for an extended period of time. The big man is putting up 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game this season.
