Courtney Lee draws start for Knicks Thursday in place of Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness)

New York Knicks shooting guard Courtney Lee will start on Thursday versus the Milwaukee Bucks in place of Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness).

What It Means:

Lee scored 12 points (5-of-8 field goals, 1-of-3 3-pointers, 1-of-1 free throws) with 4 rebounds over 22.0 minutes in his previous start this season (December 17). However, he totaled just 4 points off the bench in the next two games before being a healthy scratch on Christmas. Kevin Knox figures to be the primary beneficiary from THJ's absence.

numberFire's models expect Lee to score 13.4 FanDuel points, at a cost of $3,500, on Thursday.
