Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Joakim Noah (hamstring) doubtful for Knicks Saturday
New York Knicks forward/centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Joakim Noah (left hamstring) are listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
This certainly isn't surprising, as Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday that Porzingis would be out several days due to the ankle injury he suffered on Thursday night. The Knicks next game is Monday against the Toronto Raptors, and Porzingis could be available for that contest. If KP does not play Saturday, Lance Thomas will likely draw the start in his place. Noah has missed each of the Knicks last six games, so Guillermo Hernangomez is expected to draw another start on Saturday. Kyle O'Quinn should also continue to see additional minutes.
Hernangomez is averaging 11.5 points (on 51.4 percent shooting), 10.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the four games he has started this season. If he meets those marks -- our algorithms peg him for about as much -- he'll achieve his 28.5 FanDuel points projection on Saturday.
