Guillermo Hernangomez to come off Knicks' bench Wednesday

New York Knicks center Guillermo Hernangomez is listed as a reserve for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz, with guard/forward Lance Thomas starting.

What It Means:

The Knicks are mixing things up against Utah's imposing defense, with Kristaps Porzingis lining up across from Jazz center Rudy Gobert. Hernangomez hasn't been great as a starter in his past few games, so hopefully the benching will fire him up.

In a starting role tonight, Thomas projects for 28.4 minutes, but just 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
