Nerlens Noel starting for New York Saturday in place of injured Mitchell Robinson
New York Knicks forward/center Nerlens Noel will start on Saturday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Noel has been coming off the bench for much of his Knicks tenure, but that's being changed on Saturday. Starting center Mitchell Robinson will miss upwards of a month due to a hand injury, leaving a hole in the lineup. That spot will be filled by Noel for the time being, earning a start against John Wall and the Rockets.
Our models project Noel for 6.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 25.4 FanDuel points across 24.0 minutes of action.
