Sims isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Isaiah Hartenstein will replace Sims in the starting lineup Saturday. Sims is averaging o.4 points in 3.0 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Sims registered six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 victory over Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

With Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) sidelined, Sims made his first start since Dec. 18 and responded by setting a career high in rejections while playing a season-high 27 minutes. The 2021 second-round pick has had trouble cracking the Knicks' frontcourt rotation since Precious Achiuwa came over from Toronto in the OG Anunoby trade, but if Sims can start providing a consistent presence on defense, his workload should begin to increase again.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable but trending in the wrong direction, and if he's ruled out, Sims would move into the starting lineup. Sims made five straight starts from Dec. 11-18 after Mitchell Robinson (ankle) suffered a long-term injury, but the former saw over 20 minutes of playing time just once during that stretch. Precious Achiuwa would also likely see increased minutes off the bench if Hartenstein is ruled out.
