Tari Eason is set to start against the Knicks on Tuesday, as confirmed by head coach Ime Udoka. This decision, based on matchup considerations, sees Eason taking the spot over Reed Sheppard for this game, with Sheppard potentially returning to the starting lineup against the Bucks. Eason aims to continue his strong form after averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in his last two games.
