Knicks' Joakim Noah: To start Wednesday vs. Pistons

Noah will start Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

In Monday's win over the Mavericks, the Knicks began the second half with Noah on the bench, sliding Kristaps Porzingis up to center with Carmelo Anthony at power forward. While the Knicks outscored Dallas 31-12 in the third quarter and went on to win by 16 points, coach Jeff Hornacek said he'll return to his usual starting lineup Wednesday night against Detroit. "Jo did nothing wrong," Hornacek said. "We played great. We went in the second half with that lineup and it happened to work."
