Amar'e Stoudemire: (Knee) Will Play Tuesday, Unlikely Wednesday

Amar'e Stoudemire (knee) will play and is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game, the Knicks' official site reports. He is unlikely to play Wednesday with the game being the second part of a back-to-back.

Analysis:

Stoudemire was a game-time decision Tuesday simply because the Knicks are out of playoff contention, and there's little long-term incentive in playing for the veteran. Daily games players may want to consider using Stoudemire. He's played 30-or-more minutes in each of the Knicks' last four games.
