Ron Baker

Knicks sticking with Ron Baker in first unit

New York Knicks shooting guard Ron Baker will remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics, with Courtney Lee coming off the bench.

What It Means:

Baker turned in a solid 12 points, 4 treys, 3 boards, 1 assist and 2 steals in 21.8 minutes of action on Monday, so the Knicks will give him another go in the first unit. He's on the radar in deeper leagues while Lee can likely be cut.

Baker is averaging just 10.8 minutes in 17 games for the Knicks this season, earning a -0.4 nERD that ranks eighth on the team and 246th in the NBA.
