It’s a full day of games, and there’s a lot going on on the injury front. There aren’t too many questionable tags today, but we still have some news to monitor.
Top Questionable Tags
The big news we’ll be waiting on is Kyrie Irving with his questionable tag. He was originally expected to play Saturday, so he should have a good chance to play today. Kevin Durant mentioned that James Harden is a natural PG, so Kyrie playing would likely put him off the ball way more. Kyrie’s return to the lineup would obviously take some upside off the table for KD and Harden. If he can’t go, Joe Harris should shoot a little more, and Jeff Green should get some bigger volume, as well.
Right off the bat, we have Mitchell Robinson as a game-time call after a fall yesterday. He did play through it, so there’s a good shot he can play. If he can’t go, the Knicks may have to dust off old Taj Gibson for some minutes and Nerlens Noel could get up to the 25-minute mark. Last month, Thibs was more than fine going with an Obi Toppin and Julius Randle PF/C combo, and he’ll certainly go to it today if not Mitch. That’ll help both those guys get playing time with Randle having huge upside based off his massive per-minute output as a five.
Cam Reddish (knee) is questionable, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t play. He didn’t play on Saturday, but the team basically said it was all about the back-to-back set. I’d expect him to start with Kevin Huerter moving back to the bench.
Tyler Herro (neck) is basically in the same boat with a questionable tag, but I’d expect him to play with the Heat downplaying the neck spasms issue that kept him out on Saturday. He’ll likely start and he should be very busy with no Jimmy Butler.
