The New York Knicks are making a lineup adjustment for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. They’re starting Deuce McBride on Tuesday night in a three-guard setup.
Forward Precious Achiuwa filled in for the injured OG Anunoby in the two previous games in Indiana. However, after a heavy loss of 121-89 in Game 4, the Knicks decided to shake things up.

McBride, usually a backup guard, had a strong performance on Sunday, scoring 16 points.
Anunoby injured his left hamstring in Game 2 after scoring a career playoff-high of 28 points. Coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that the forward’s condition has slightly improved, and he’s able to do some light work on the court.
