Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed asquestionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Knicks are likely contemplating giving Hartenstein a maintenance day following his recent return from left Achilles tendinopathy. Hartenstein's playing time has been trending up steadily since his return to the lineup coming out of the All-Star break, with the 25-year-old most recently playing 27 minutes in Monday's 113-111 win over the Pistons. If New York opts to hold Hartenstein out Tuesday, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would cover all the minutes at center.
