Mitchell Robinson (ankle) reportedly expected to start for Knicks
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is expected to start in Wednesday's season opener versus the Indiana Pacers, reports Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News.
What It Means:
Marc Berman of the New York Post previously surmised that Nerlens Noel would start at center on Wednesday, but Bondy is reporting otherwise. Robinson could potentially secure the starting gig for the season with a strong start. He averaged 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks over 23.1 minutes last year in his second NBA season.
numberFire's models project Robinson for 22.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday and he has a salary of $5,500 on the main slate.
