Sources: Knicks mull benching Hart for Robinson for Game 3

INDIANAPOLIS -- Down 2-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Knicks are seriously considering a change to their starting lineup for Sunday's Game 3, sources confirmed to ESPN's Shams Charania on Saturday.

Coach Tom Thibodeau is considering moving backup center Mitchell Robinson into the starting five for wing player Josh Hart, sources told Charania.

It would mark the first change all season to the Knicks' starting five of Hart, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns when each is listed as available and healthy.
