Boston Celtics forward Noah Vonleh will draw the start for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Veteran big man Al Horford (back) will sit this one out. That means, Vonleh should see plenty of playing time on Saturday. He could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option for Saturday's slate. Vonleh isn't likely to bring a lot to the table in his tough matchup. The Celtics will roll with the same starting five outside of Vonleh for this contest.
The Celtics have officially signed forward Noah Vonleh. The deal is non-guaranteed, and he will have to compete for a permanent spot on the roster throughout training camp. He was selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and has played for seven teams since, averaging 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 points along the way. With that said, even if Vonleh secures a place on the regular season roster, he probably won't play much, so either way, fantasy managers won't have to think twice about him during the remainder of the offseason.
Free-agent forward Noah Vonleh signed a training camp deal with the Celtics. The 26-year-old has suited up for seven teams since being selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, averaging 5.1 boards and 4.9 points. Even if he makes the team, he'll likely have to scratch and claw to see the floor. However, if Robert Williams III, Al Horford, or Grant Williams goes down with an injury in 2022-23, Vonleh may earn a few minutes here and there. Still, it probably won't be enough to make a difference for fantasy managers.
New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is not surprising news as Vonleh missed the final month of the regular season. He's an unrestricted free agent this summer, so we'll see if he suits up for the Knicks next season. Luke Kornet and Henry Ellenson will split up the minutes at power forward, but neither player has much fantasy value.
New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Vonleh has been sidelined the last two games due to a right ankle issue. Mario Hezonja has been drawing the starts and playing fairly decent there, so that's likely what is going to happen again on Wednesday.
New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the second game in a row that Vonleh has missed due to a minor ankle issue. Mario Hezonja started on Sunday and played pretty well, but who knows if head coach David Fizdale will give him another start. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for more information.
New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (hip) will play Sunday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Vonleh missed Saturday's game with a hip injury but will be able to go for Sunday. Vonleh had been on the upswing before sitting out with the injury, posting four straight solid games. However, Coach David Fizdale's lineups remain volatile and there are few players on the Knicks who can be trusted for consistent minutes. With many leagues in the fantasy playoffs, you may have to take risks on players like Vonleh.
Noah Vonleh Doesn't Last Long In Friday's Road Loss
New York Knicks power forward Noah Vonleh made the start in Friday's 120-103 road loss against the Detroit Pistons, but he was scoreless across just three minutes before being benched in the first quarter. He misfired on all three of his field-goal attempts. Vonleh was nailed to the pine, and it was small forward Mario Hezonja stepping up with eight points, seven rebounds, two steals and an assist over 33 minutes off the bench. It's uncertain if Vonleh will be back in the starting lineup Saturday against the Toronto Raptors or if he will be nailed to the bench again. His short-term fantasy outlook is murky at best.
New York Knicks power forward Noah Vonleh was limited to 14 minutes in Wednesday's 114-90 home loss against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach David Fizdale recently said he is committed to using younger bigs Vonleh and Mitchell Robinson, but he wasn't happy with their performance so he turned back to veteran Enes Kanter. Robinson wasn't all that bad statistically, going 2-for-2 from the floor with four points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots, but he was also 0-for-4 from the charity stripe. Kanter played nine minutes, posting five points, two rebounds and an assist in his first action since Jan. 21, and just his second game in the past nine outings.
New York Knicks power forward Noah Vonleh finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 114-110 home loss against the Houston Rockets. He made the start at center and added two assists with two blocked shots and a steal, hitting 4-for-7 from the field. Vonleh has managed two double-doubles over the past three games, averaging 11.0 points with 8.3 rebounds. There have been rumblings that Vonleh is available via trade, so perhaps New York showcases him a bit more which gives him decent fantasy appeal in most formats.
