Knicks centerTyson Chandler, battling through flu symptoms, will start for the Knicks in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Miami Heat on Monday night.

“I feel better. I don’t feel 100 percent, but I feel better,” he said on Monday before the team’s shootaround. “I’ve been able to eat a couple times. I feel my strength will be back a little bit.”

Chandler has been dealing with flu symptoms for the past four days. He struggled to play through them in Game 1, finishing with just three rebounds and seven turnovers in 21 minutes.
