Nerlens Noel Blocks Four Shots In Return To Starting Lineup
4 years agoNew York Knicks center Nerlens Noel put up a strong effort on both ends in his return to the starting lineup on Monday. Noel scored eight points with 11 boards while blocking four shots and recording two steals in 30 minutes of a 98-88 loss to the Heat. The 26-year-old big man had garnered several starts with Mitchell Robinson sidelined with a hand injury, though the latter is unfortunately expected to be out for the rest of the year with a broken foot. Noel had his own injury scare with his shoulder, though he appears to be fine. He won't offer much in the way of scoring, though he's averaging over two blocks and a steal per game this year, which makes him extra valuable in both DFS and category formats alike.
