Rose got the start at point guard with Kemba Walker resting, and he scored in double figures for the seventh time in nine games this season. His minutes are slightly down this season Walker should be back in the lineup Monday at Philly, so Rose will likely head back to the bench. Rose will start in place of a resting Kemba Walker.
The former is likely to play more than 25 minutes, which he has done twice this season. Rose averaged Rose put up 23 points FG, 3Pt, FT , eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Bucks.
Rose has scored in double digits in six of his last eight appearances, but the point haul in this one matched this season's best scoring output. The eight rebounds were also a season-high mark, and while he's not expected to score around the point mark on a nightly basis, there's no question Rose should be a consistent performer off the bench for New York, giving him decent upside across deeper formats.

However, the worst part of this whole deal is that there is now a year-old MVP point guard who has to come back from a very serious injury, and he might never be the same.
Let's break down just why this injury could derail the rest of Rose's promising young career. Derrick Rose is one of the best athletes in the NBA, and he uses that athleticism to score the ball.
He is very quick and is arguably the best dunking point guard in the league. An ACL injury can have serious impact long-term, and Rose may never again be the athlete he was. It's not just the knee that is hurt, but the rest of the body can lose strength as well. The recovery time for a torn ACL is anywhere from six to eight months, and that is a long time to be sitting around. Sure, you can attempt to do some light exercises after the post-surgery swelling goes down, but that takes time and even then, you have to be very careful and gentle.
Can Rose still remain a force if he loses some of his athletic ability? When a player comes back from an ACL injury, there is a chance that he could suffer another injury, both to the ACL and other parts of the leg. His first, brief tenure in New York nearly ended his career as he went MIA one day, returning home to Chicago and considering retirement.
But reunited with his long-time coach Tom Thibodeau and on a winning team with a cast that supports him, removes the pressure of MVP performances every night.
I can go out there and play the game and try to affect the game by passing or just pushing the ball. Steve Popper covers the Knicks for Newsday.
