CLEVELAND — It might be time to feature Fort Knox.
Armed with a four-game losing streak, Knicks coach David Fizdale is mulling a promotion of rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox into the starting lineup at small forward over offensively struggling Mario Hezonja on Wednesday, when the lowly Knicks (8-20) face the lowly Cavaliers (6-21).
This would cause more of a stir if LeBron James was still plying his trade in dreary Northeast Ohio, but it could be the Knox breakthrough fans have been waiting for.
Knox has started just three games this season but is coming off a powerful 26-point, 15-rebound showing in Sunday’s blowout loss to Charlotte.
