Cam Whitmore provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds and three three-pointers against the Mavericks on Saturday.Since scoring 14 points in the season opener, Whitmore has only scored in double figures once and hasn't played a significant role. However, he was able to contribute off the bench in this game and set a new season-high for points. Still, outside of the buckets, he only contributed three boards. That's it. Whitmore is a talented scorer, but until he is able to contribute in other areas, his upside and minutes will both be limited.
Khris Middleton (elbow) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Monday.Middleton will be sidelined for the first time this season after initially being listed as questionable. That opens a spot in the starting unit, which could be filled by Bub Carrington or Tre Johnson, though Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore could also be in line for extra minutes.
