What It Means:

Hernangomez came off the bench in this one as an adjustment for the matchup, after starting the Knicks previous three games, but he ended up playing a huge role anyway when Kristaps Porzingis went down with a leg injury. Hernangomez has averaged nearly a double-double in 10 games over the past month, with 10.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.1 minutes per game.

Hernangomez also finished third among Knicks players with an 11.4 nERD in Tuesday's win, per numberFire Live. That brings his season-long mark to a 0.7 -- good for 2nd on the team and 113th in the NBA.
