Mitchell Robinson to start for Knicks on Wednesday over Bobby Portis
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will start at center on Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons, head coach David Fizdale announced.
What It Means:
Robinson started his first five games this season before being replaced by Bobby Portis on Saturday. He actually played a season-high 24.6 minutes off the bench after failing to log 20 minutes as a starter. Fizdale says he prefers Robinson on defense against Andre Drummond.
Robinson is averaging 26.7 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 10.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.6 blocks per contest over the rest of the season.
