Humphries will move to the bench for Thursday's game against the Knicks, MSG Network reports.

Analysis:

Humphries had been holding down the starting power forward role for the Wizards for most of December while Nene battled injuries, but it looks like coach Randy Wittman is finally confident that Nene can handle a larger minutes load. There had been some hints that Humphries might be moved to the bench, as he had seen just 13, 20 and 21 minutes over his last three games, after previously seeing minutes in the high-20s. It might be still worthwhile for fantasy owners to stash Humphries given Nene's historic fragility, but he's probably not a strong option to keep active now that he's coming off the bench.
