Knicks F Kristaps Porzingis Will Not Play Thursday Against the Bulls

Set your lineups accordingly. New York Knicks forward and scond-leading scorer Kristaps Porzingis will not play Thursday against the Chicago Bulls due to Achilles' soreness. 

This is obviously a major blow for the Knicks as they look to break a stretch that has seen them lose nine of their past 10 games. Lance Thomas will get the start in Porzingis' stead with Mindaugas Kuzminskas seeing more action. 

Needless to say, New York will be relying more on Carmelo Anthony to pack a scoring punch here. Though, Anthony himself played 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Chicago has yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to small forwards on the season. So even with him likely needing a breather or two, Anthony becomes an elite DFS play Thursday night.
