Taj Gibson (ankle) ruled out again for Knicks Thursday
New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (left ankle sprain) will remain out Thursday versus the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Gibson will miss a third straight game before the Knicks head into the All-Star break. Nerlens Noel should continue playing heavy minutes at center while Obi Toppin also stands to benefit. Julius Randle should also log some time at the five with Gibson out.
Noel is currently numberFire's fifth-best overall value on Thursday's nine-game slate. He has a salary of $5,500 and our models project him for 31.7 FanDuel points. The Pistons round out the bottom-10 teams allowing the most FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
