Knicks' Kyle O'Quinn: Did not start despite the absence of Willy Hernangomez (ankle)

O'Quinn came off the bench and scored four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) while adding seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 101-90 win over the Magic.

Analysis:

Despite some reports indicating that he would start, O'Quinn came off the bench Wednesday. Lance Thomas joined Kristaps Porzingis in the starting lineup, and Thomas played an effective 31 minutes. Thomas' success makes it unlikely that the Knicks would change things up for Friday's game against the 76ers if Willy Hernangomez (ankle) remains sidelined. Regardless of Henangomez's status, this game was a negative development in terms of O'Quinn's fantasy value moving forward.
