Dennis Smith Jr. moving back to Knicks' bench Wednesday
New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is returning to the bench Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Smith scored 15 points (5-of-12 field goals, 4-of-5 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals, and 1 3-pointer as a fill-in starter for Elfrid Payton (ankle) last game. Payton is set to return Wednesday, so Smith is moving back to the bench. Frank Ntilikina (sore groin) has been ruled out again.
numberFire's models expect DSJ to score 14.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's priced at $3,500. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks-Hornets game has the lowest over/under on the nine-game slate (207.5 points).
