Knicks optimistic Kristaps Porzingis (hip) will be ready for Thursday
New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek is optimistic forward/center Kristaps Porzingis will be ready for Thursday's opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Porzingis had previously been limited to non-contact drills but it appears he's on track for Thursday's opening matchup with the new-look Thunder. His injury shouldn't impact his value in fantasy drafts.
numberFire's models project Porzingis to average 19.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.9 blocks, and 1.7 3-pointers per game this season.
