Acy will move to the bench for the Knicks' Christmas Day tilt with the Wizards.

Analysis:

The return of Amare' Stoudemire following a two-game absence will result in Acy seeing a diminished role. The Baylor product is currently averaging a career-high 21 minutes per game this season and contributing a modest 5.2 points and 5.0 rebounds for the Knicks, who should still carve out a decent-sized role for him as a reserve.
