Kemba Walker (knee) cleared, returning to Knicks lineup Tuesday
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will play and start on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Walker is ready to return after sitting out the last nine games and the Knicks haven't mentioned anything about a minutes limit. Alec Burks is expected to move back to the second unit, which will cost Immanuel Quickley some minutes.
numberFire's models project Kemba for 25.7 minutes and 23.6 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $4,900 salary for the two-game slate. The Timberwolves are allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season.
