76ers starting Nik Stauskas Friday versus Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Nik Stauskas will start for Gerald Henderson (hip) against the New York Knicks on Friday.

What It Means:

With Henderson out on Saturday as well, it looks like Stauskas will get another boost in playing time versus the Detroit Pistons as well. Stauskas has made 24 starts this season, averaging just 7.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game when in the starting lineup.

Stauskas is projected for 10.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on Friday, making him a reasonable punt play option at just $4,000.
