Frank Ntilikina gets rare start for Knicks vs. Magic

Frank Ntilikina got yet another chance.

With every other point guard either injured or out because of COVID protocol, the Knicks gave the offensively challenged Ntilikina his third start of the season.

The fourth-year guard is one of the team’s better defensive players, but has struggled to find any offensive consistency.

Ntilikina flirted with finding some rhythm right before the All-Star break. In the two games heading into the break, Ntilikina was 8-for-11 shooting overall and 6-for-6 from three-point range. In the first four games after the All-Star break heading into Thursday night’s game against Orlando, Ntilikina was 0-for-16, missing all six of his three-point attempts.
