Frank Ntilikina (quad) a game-time call for Knicks Thursday
New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina (right quad contusion) is a game-time decision on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons, per head coach Tom Thibodeau.
What It Means:
Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will go through their pregame workouts before a decision is made on their status for the 7:30pm ET tip-off. Derrick Rose (protocols) has already been ruled out for a second straight game, so Ntilikina or Payton will be in line for a large workload if the other is ruled out. Immanuel Quickley will take on as much as he can handle and Kevin Knox will likely play more if the Knicks rule out both guards in question.
The Pistons are allowing the ninth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season. Ntilikina has a salary of $4,000 on Thursday's nine-game slate.
