Nerlens Noel Will Miss Saturday’s Game
Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland due to a knee ailment. Noel's presence on the defensive end will be missed (eight blocks in his last two games), potentially opening the door for Obi Toppin to see increased minutes in the frontcourt. Aside from those fantasy managers who are desperate for shots blocked, Noel holds little season-long intrigue due to his capped minutes total. Mitchell Robinson could also vulture a handful of minutes, raising his upside during what is sure to be a physical battle with Enes Kanter. The next chance that Noel has to return to action is Sunday versus the Heat.
