Luke Kornet will start for Knicks on Sunday with Enes Kanter (back) sitting out
New York Knicks forward/center Luke Kornet will move into the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, with center Enes Kanter (back) a late scratch.
What It Means:
After trading away most of their center depth, and without Kristaps Porzingis (knee) for the rest of the season, the loss of Kanter on Sunday makes the Knicks really thin at in the frontcourt versus Toronto. Kornet and Kyle O'Quinn will be asked to split time at center, while Michael Beasley will take on bigger minutes with Lance Thomas (thumb) also out.
Our models project Kornet for 16.4 FanDuel points on Sunday against the Raptors.
