Knicks bringing Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) off bench in return
New York Knicks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is coming off the bench in his return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Derrick Rose, Ron Baker, Mindaugas Kuzminskas and Kyle O'Quinn will all start again after pulling out a win in Boston on Wednesday night. Porzingis should be on a strict minutes limit in his first game since January 11, but he's expected to play some time at the five.
Our models expect Porzingis to play 30.5 minutes on Thursday and turn in 17.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks against Washington.
