Wayne Ellington starting for Knicks Wednesday against Magic
New York Knicks shooting guard Wayne Ellington is starting on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Ellington is replacing Elfrid Payton (hamstring) and joining RJ Barrett in the backcourt as the Knicks decide to go without a traditional point guard in the starting lineup. Knicks head coach David Fizdale says Frank Ntilikina will still play a lot of minutes, but that he doesn't want his only point guard to risk foul trouble. Alrighty then.
numberFire's models expect Ellington to play 12.4 minutes and score 9.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's priced at $3,500.
