Kyle O'Quinn will draw the start Thursday versus the Raptors.
O'Quinn will draw the start at power forward Thursday versus the Raptors.
Analysis:
O'Quinn will benefit from Kristaps Porzingis' late scratch from the lineup due to an illness. Despite O'Quinn getting the starting not, it's likely that Derrick Williams will benefit from the majority of the extra minutes, as he's been the Knicks' first big man off the bench of late. That being said, with the Knicks down three starters in Porzingis, Carmelo Anthony (knee), and Jose Calderon (groin), plenty of playing time should still be available for O'Quinn and several of the Knicks' reserves.
