New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale only teased starting lineup changes before Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat. So to see the drastic adjustments made after just five games was a head-turner.
For Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Frank Ntilikina, Tim Hardaway Jr., Damyean Dotson, Noah Vonleh and Mitchell Robinson all joined the starting lineup, with Dotson, Vonleh and Robinson as the beneficiaries.
- Dotson delivered 12 points and 7 rebounds on 5-for-12 shooting in 30 minutes. This became just his third start in two seasons, but a continuation of his performance of the previous three games.
