Jeremy Tyler is expected to start against the Celtics on Wednesday. With Amare Stoudemire (rest) and Tyson Chandler, The Knicks are out of options at center for the most part. On Monday without Chandler and STAT on the bench, Tyler played center for every other possession except for the last 43 seconds of garbage time. That playing time went to Cole Aldrich, who should get in the mix tonight and possibly start so coach Mike Woodson has something off the bench. In the small sample size, Tyler has been effective in pick and roll and has been solid in scoring on the offensive glass. He's far from a sure thing, but he has a chance to eclipse his season high of 23 minutes tonight.
