Knicks' Brandon Jennings: Late addition to starting lineup Monday

Jennings will start at point guard Monday against the Pelicans.

Analysis:

Derrick Rose was a late scratch Monday for undisclosed absence, affording Jennings an unexpected turn in the starting lineup. It's expected that he'll see the bulk of the playing time at point guard, though the recent entry of Ron Baker into the rotation could prevent him from eclipsing 30 minutes. Even so, Jennings should still see a high uptick in usage as the Knicks' chief backcourt scorer, so expect his scoring and assist production to rise accordingly.
