Once again, McBride got off to a good start, scoring 12 points in the first quarter of Friday’s game. Unfortunately, he didn’t offer much value offensively in the final three periods, but the final stat line was solid. Over the past two weeks, McBride has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues until Josh Hart returns from his high ankle sprain, and that could happen during the Knicks’ current four-game road trip.

McBride has reached double figures in all six games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle, and he replaced Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Deuce got off to a good start, shooting 5-of-9 from the field in the first half with four made three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-100 per-game fantasy value. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McBride is worth streaming as long as the Knicks are without Josh Hart (ankle).

After starting Mitchell Robinson in Monday’s loss to the Pistons, the Knicks are shifting to a quicker option for Wednesday. McBride will start, shifting Bridges, Anunoby and Towns down a position. McBride has been productive recently and should be rostered in deep leagues, especially while Josh Hart is out.

McBride has reached double figures in all four games he’s played since returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for two weeks, scoring 20 points or more twice. With the injuries to Josh Hart and Landry Shamet, McBride takes on added importance for the Knicks on both ends of the floor. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats since returning from the ankle injury.

Not only will the Knicks be without Josh Hart for Friday’s game, but Karl-Anthony Towns is out with an illness. McBride, who came off the bench in his first games back from a sprained ankle, will start, bumping Mohamed Diawara to the bench. Hukporti steps in to start for Towns.

McBride is available to play for the first time since December 7. With Tyler Kolek dealing with a sore right ankle and Josh Hart (ankle) out, getting McBride back gives the Knicks a welcome boost on the perimeter.

McBride is set to play in his first game since December 7, and his timing is impeccable, as Kolek has been filling in for him as Jalen Brunson’s backup. McBride may see limited minutes in his first game back in three weeks, so fantasy managers don’t need to insert him into lineups right away.

McBride, who last appeared in a game on December 7, was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s win over the Hawks but did not play. If he does play, the Knicks guard will likely be under a minutes restriction. If he doesn’t, Mike Brown may expand his bench again, with Mohamed Diawara (who started for Josh Hart on Saturday) and Kevin McCullar Jr. picking up rotation minutes.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, McBride has not played since December 7. With Josh Hart also out, the Knicks will rely even more on Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson, with Mohamed Diawara possibly picking up a few rotation minutes.

McBride has been sidelined since Dec. 7 but could make his return against Atlanta. Josh Hart (ankle) has been ruled out, so McBride could take on extended minutes in his first game back. Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek could lose minutes if McBride returns, though both have played well recently.

Deuce has been out since December 7, and his absence will extend through Christmas. For as long as McBride is on the shelf, Tyler Kolek should see additional run off the bench.

While McBride has been cleared to resume individual on-court work, he still has not taken the step of participating in group practices. His absence has led to more minutes for Tyler Kolek, who had the best game of his NBA career in Thursday’s win over the Pacers. That said, the Knicks would have to lose another rotation player before Kolek would be worth the risk as a streamer.

McBride has been sidelined since December 7th, and it now appears he will be out at least a week longer. Even though he is no longer starting, McBride is a key part of the Knicks’ rotation and has made clear gains as a scorer this season. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson will continue to be relied on for bench scoring, and Tyler Kolek will see an uptick in minutes.

McBride suffered a sprained left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic and did not return. If the Knicks advance to the NBA Cup semifinals with a victory on Tuesday, they would be off until Saturday. No McBride means the Knicks will need more consistency from Jordan Clarkson, and he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

McBride injured his left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic, with Orlando guard Desmond Bane landing on the Knicks guard’s leg after attempting to block his layup attempt. McBride did not return after exiting, and he’ll undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. If he misses time, the Knicks will have to rely more on Jordan Clarkson for scoring off the bench, and inconsistency has been an issue for him this season.

After knocking down five three-pointers and scoring 19 points in Wednesday’s win over the Hornets, McBride duplicated that performance two nights later. A starter in each of the Knicks’ last three games, Deuce has hit double figures in four of his last five. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least four weeks and OG Anunoby (hamstring) also out, McBride may be locked into the starting lineup for long enough to merit being streamed until the latter returns. The Knicks end Week 6 with a home game against the Raptors on Sunday.

Making a second consecutive start, McBride had one of his best performances of the season in Charlotte. He shot 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, with the 19 points being six shy of his season-high. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least a month, McBride will be a key figure for the Knicks, whether he starts or comes off the bench. From a fantasy standpoint, he’s more valuable as a starter than as a reserve.

Already without OG Anunoby, the Knicks won’t have Landry Shamet or Mitchell Robinson for Monday’s game, either. As a result, McBride and Hart move into the starting lineup. Due to an illness, the former did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Magic, despite the Knicks never officially ruling him out. McBride has a clean bill of health now and is worth a look in deep leagues. Hart should already be rostered in most 12-team leagues.

McBride popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness mere hours before game-time against the Magic on Saturday. Typically, that doesn’t bode well for players in McBride’s situation. McBride doesn’t have a path towards much fantasy value with Jalen Brunson back from an ankle injury anyway.

Despite joining his teammates in Miami late for personal reasons, McBride had one of his best games of the season on Monday. After totaling 27 points on 35.7 percent shooting in his previous four appearances, Deuce recorded his first 20-point game of the season. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out, it would have been nice to get some assist production from McBride, but the points, rebounds, and three-pointers were good. With OG Anunoby also out, McBride should remain a starter until those two return.

McBride would be in line for another start with Jalen Brunson (ankle) already ruled out for Monday. It’s unclear what McBride’s chances of playing are with an unknown personal issue. Landry Shamet would perhaps be next in line for a start if McBride is ultimately ruled out.

Jalen Brunson is dealing with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, which will keep him out for at least this game. The Knicks announced they will evaluate the injury daily, so an exact return timeline is unclear. McBride should continue to start until Brunson returns.

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.
