Enes Kanter (back) still not playing for Knicks on Monday
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back) has been ruled out on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Kanter will miss a third straight game, but Kristaps Porzingis' (back) return will help fill the void in the Knicks' frontcourt. Kyle O'Quinn and Willy Hernangomez should also benefit. In 17 games this season, Kanter is averaging 13.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. He seems to have a decent shot at returning on Wednesday against the Miami Heat.
Kanter is averaging 29.6 FanDuel points per game this season, and over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 14.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
