Raymond Felton to start for Knicks in Orlando on Monday
The 8-18 Knicks have their starting point guard back in the lineup.

Felton has missed team's last six games with a sore left hamstring, and he's been limited by injuries throughout the season. Joining him in the starting lineup will be Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony, Andrea Bargnani and Tyson Chandler. Knicks head coach Mike Woodson has been shuffling his starters as of late, with Bargnani, Beno Udrih, J.R. Smith and Pablo Prigioni all getting moved around depending on matchups and who's healthy.
Posting and Toasting: Seth Rosenthal: "A slightly hurt Felton might be better than no Felton at all."
New York went 3-3 in Felton’s absence and will be looking for him to provide some consistency. Unfortunately for the Knicks, there will likely be some rust, and he’s had a tough time stringing solid games together this season. Felton is averaging 10.3 points, 5.2 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 32 minutes per game this year, shooting 39.4 percent from the field and 27.9 percent from the three-point line, with far fewer attempts at the rim than normal.
