Knicks' Nerlens Noel (ankle) expected back for Knicks Wednesday

New York Knicks forward/center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to return Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

What It Means:

Noel sat out Monday due to a sprained ankle. Taj Gibson drew the start in his place and provided 6 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, and 5 blocks for the Knicks. Gibson will not need to do as much with Noel back in action.

numberFire’s models project Noel for 24.1 FanDuel points versus the Nuggets and he has a $5,100 salary on Wednesday.
