McBride rejoined the Knicks on Thursday after missing two games for personal reasons, and he will play on Friday. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, McBride is worth a look in deep leagues but not a must-roster player.

McBride was away from the Knicks for personal reasons, missing road losses to the Heat and Bucks. His return likely means there’s a good chance Deuce will play against the currently undefeated Bulls. If he does, McBride may start if head coach Mike Brown decides to go with a smaller lineup.

Deuce will miss a second straight game, though there’s no clear fantasy replacement. Landry Shamet, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should pick up the slack for McBride through a committee approach, diminishing the fantasy value of all three.

McBride started in the last game that he played in, but he is in danger of missing a second straight. Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek all played at least 10 minutes off the bench on Sunday as the reserve guards in place of McBride. If McBride is back, he may start over Ariel Hukporti in a smaller lineup after Hukporti played 10 minutes as a starter against the Heat.

McBride has been downgraded from questionable to out, meaning the Knicks will be without at least two rotation players. (Mitchell Robinson is also out.) As was the case for Friday’s win over the Celtics, the fifth starter will likely be influenced by matchups. Josh Hart and Guerschon Yabusele are potential replacements, as is Ariel Hukporti. While Hart should already be rostered in standard leagues, neither Yabusele nor Hukporti is currently worth the risk.

McBride started in place of Mitchell Robinson (ankle) on Friday, and with Robinson out again, he could be in line for another start if he plays. However, if McBride isn’t available, Josh Hart, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet could see extra minutes, with one of them starting. McBride started against Boston, but if the Heat continue to start Kel’el Ware next to Bam Adebayo, coach Mike Brown may opt for a bigger starting lineup, even if McBride plays.

The Knicks have yet to announce the final statuses of Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, as both are game-time decisions. However, it’s being reported that McBride will be part of the starting lineup on Friday. He played well in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, making four three-pointers and scoring 15 points in 26 minutes off the bench. Moving into the starting lineup makes Deuce a player worth streaming in deeper leagues, especially if Towns can’t play.

McBride’s role is unlikely to change much, even with the new head coach, as he’s being asked to provide energy and offense off the bench. However, during his first rotation on Thursday, McBride spent some time at point guard, sharing the backcourt with Jordan Clarkson (10/3/3). Malcolm Brogdon did not play until the second half; the same could be said for Tyler Kolek. To say McBride has been a combo guard during his first four seasons would be a stretch; he was asked to do minimal playmaking for others. If that changes under Mike Brown and Deuce shows himself capable of handling those responsibilities, his numbers may benefit.

Having posted career-best averages in points, rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers last season, McBride is a player who may be worth taking a late-round flier on in drafts. He was efficient offensively in his bench role on Thursday while adding a nice bonus of three steals. While capable of facilitating for others, McBride may be best equipped to offer late-round value in steals and three-pointers, especially if the Knicks keep Malcolm Brogdon to provide a steady hand off the bench as Jalen Brunson’s backup. Brogdon, one of the veterans competing for a roster spot in training camp, contributed three points, one rebound, two assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 12 minutes.

Despite the Knicks securing the third seed in the East on Friday, McBride played 30 minutes as Josh Hart’s replacement in the starting lineup in Brooklyn. He had a good afternoon for fantasy managers in active leagues, providing solid value in points, rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. McBride’s role will be different when the playoffs begin next weekend, but his scoring ability will be critical off the bench.

Sunday’s game will be McBride’s first since March 20, while Payne played rotation minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Hawks. The Knicks will have their full point guard rotation against the Suns, as starter Jalen Brunson is also available. His presence means that McBride and Payne will provide limited fantasy value coming off the bench.

McBride has missed eight games with a groin injury but has a chance to return against Phoenix. He will back up Jalen Brunson if he’s active, so fantasy managers should expect his ceiling to be lower than it was during his stint as a starter.

While McBride did participate in Friday’s practice, he is not ready to return from his strained groin. He’ll sit out Saturday’s game, but the Knicks will return home to host the Suns on Sunday. With Jalen Brunson and Cameron Payne questionable, the team’s point guard rotation could receive much-needed depth and talent on Saturday.

The Knicks will end this week with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back, visiting Atlanta before returning home to host the Suns. And the team’s point guard rotation may be back to normal. In addition to Jalen Brunson potentially returning from his ankle injury, McBride and Payne “should” be cleared any day, according to their head coach. McBride has missed New York’s last seven games and Payne the last four. How much McBride or Payne would impact fantasy basketball during the final days of Week 22 depends on Brunson’s availability. However, with the schedule being what it is, there isn’t anything to gain from holding onto Delon Wright or Tyler Kolek if you’ve been streaming them.

New York will be missing all three of its top point guard options in the second leg of a back-to-back. Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek appear poised to step up to the plate ass fill-ins again.

New York will once again be down their top three point guard options, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) still sidelined. Delon Wright has started the last two games for the Knicks, averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, three assists, 1.5 steals, one block and 1.5 triples while playing 32.5 minutes per game. Rookie Tyler Kolek has filled out the backup minutes, and while he is more than capable of dishing out plenty of assists in limited action, he hasn’t seen the bump in minutes necessary to provide standard league value.

Sunday’s game will be the fifth McBride has missed with a strained groin, while a sprained ankle keeps Payne out for a second straight. Delon Wright was the choice to start on Friday, playing 30 minutes in a win over the Bucks. Tyler Kolek played 18 minutes off the bench, but staying in a reserve role limits the rookie’s ceiling.

McBride is set to miss his third-straight game on Wednesday. Cameron Payne will likely continue to fill in as the starting point guard with Jalen Brunson out. Payne has played 30 minutes in each of his first two starts and averaged six assists and 1.5 steals.

McBride will miss a second consecutive game with a left groin strain/contusion. Cameron Payne will remain the starting point guard, which makes him worthy of a look in deep leagues. Also, Tyler Kolek will play rotation minutes, and he tallied eight assists without committing a turnover during Saturday’s win over the Wizards.

McBride has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday’s game, leaving the Knicks without their top two point guards. Cameron Payne will move into the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling, but the veteran guard has been erratic most nights. Tyler Kolek should move into the rotation, but it’s difficult to trust Tom Thibodeau to give the rookie the playing time needed to impact fantasy basketball.

McBride was questionable ahead of Thursday’s game, but he was able to play through the groin contusion in that game. However, if he is held out against Washington, Cameron Payne will likely move into the starting unit, which would open up extra minutes for rookie Tyler Kolek.

McBride has played well as the starting point guard for the Knicks in place of Jalen Brunson, who is still sidelined with an ankle injury. However, Thursday wasn’t his best performance. McBride had at least 10 points and two three-pointers in five consecutive games prior to this game against Charlotte. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said earlier in the day that they’re hoping to have Brunson play a few games before the playoffs, but based on that, Brunson may not return until April. McBride’s role should be safe for a little while longer, and he’ll have an opportunity to bounce back against the Wizards on Saturday.

McBride was initially listed as questionable, but he will be able to suit up once again on Thursday. He should fill out his typical place in the starting lineup, where he has scored in double figures in five consecutive games.

McBride has needed to do more with Jalen Brunson out and now his status for Thursday is up in the air. Cameron Payne could have to step in as New York’s starting point guard if McBride is ruled out.

During the Knicks ' five-game road trip, McBride was an 11th-round fantasy player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That isn’t great value, especially for a starter. However, the circumstances make Deuce worthy of a look in more leagues. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McBride will likely be the Knicks’ starting point guard for the foreseeable future. While Jalen Brunson (ankle) is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Thursday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Saturday evening that he could be out until late March or early April.

McBride vowed to be better after struggling in Friday’s loss to the Clippers, and he was a man of his word. The Knicks guard shot 5-of-7 from the field in the first quarter, setting the tone as New York moved to 1-2 on its current five-game road trip. Even with only two more games on his Week 19 schedule, McBride is worth adding in deep leagues as long as Jalen Brunson (ankle) remains out. The Knicks visit Portland on Wednesday before ending their road trip on Saturday against the Warriors.

Friday’s game was the first the Knicks played since Jalen Brunson sprained his right ankle during Thursday’s overtime loss to the Lakers. While McBride’s assist production was solid against the Clippers, he had a rough night shooting the basketball. Missing all four of his two-point attempts, the Knicks guard was 2-of-9 from three. Even with the Knicks only playing three games during Week 19, the circumstances make McBride a player worth streaming in deep leagues. Unfortunately, he can be erratic as a shooter.

The Knicks are without Jalen Brunson, who will miss at least two weeks after spraining his right ankle during Thursday’s loss to the Clippers. As expected, McBride moves into the starting lineup, and Cameron Payne will likely play increased minutes off the bench. Brunson’s absence also means more scoring opportunities for Bridges and Anunoby, who need to step up.
