New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (illness) is available ahead of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after McBride sat out of Wednesday's exhibition contest due to a minor illness. His return should mean less playing time for Tyler Kolek on Sunday. McBride averaged 8.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 19.5 minutes per game in 68 games last season for the Knicks. He figures to have a similar role in the rotation this season which should provide deep league value.
New York Knicks point guard Miles McBride missed Wednesday's preseason game against Washington because of an illness. McBride led the team to a 111-109 win over Charlotte in the preseason opener last weekend with 22 points, but he was feeling under the weather ahead of Wednesday's game and couldn't shake off the illness. McBride had some spectacular moments last season, but his fantasy value will be limited as long as the Knicks stay healthy. The 24-year-old needs to recover by Sunday to not miss any further preseason action.
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers. After grabbing a 2-0 lead in the series, the Knicks have dropped back-to-back games, and head coach Tom Thibodeau has decided to switch things up. McBride will take Precious Achiuwa's spot in the first unit. The 23-year-old has been in fine form this postseason, recording 9.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23.2 minutes.
Miles McBride Gets Extreme Workload Without Jalen Brunson
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride logged a season-high 47 minutes in Sunday's 107-98 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, collecting 16 points on 6-for-15 shooting, five assists, four three-pointers, and one rebound. Thrust into a ridiculous workload with Jalen Brunson (knee) hobbling off the court early, McBride came off the bench and didn't sit for the remainder of the contest following the All-Star's injury. Over McBride's four showings without Brunson in New York's lineup this season, the 23-year-old spot-up shooter is averaging 17.5 points, 4.8 dimes, 4.3 boards, 3.0 treys, and 1.5 steals in 42.2 minutes. With Brunson questionable at best for Tuesday's matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks, McBride is well worth a speculative add off fantasy waiver wires. The Hawks give up the second-most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, and they are tied for the worst defensive efficiency rating (117.6).
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride will be with the organization for at least one more season. On Wednesday, the Knicks decided to pick up the $1.8 million team option on McBride. This seemed like a no-brainer for the Knicks with how well McBride played in limited action for the team. Last season, McBride only averaged 11.9 minutes per game, but the team was 20-5 in games where McBride played more than 15 minutes. The 22-year-old has hopefully earned himself a bigger role on the team going forward.
New York Knicks point guard Miles McBride had a strong Summer League game in the team's 102-89 win over the Orlando Magic on Thursday. He scored a team-high 23 points while adding five rebounds, five assists and three steals. He was efficient in the game, shooting 9-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 from the free throw line. McBride has had a nice Summer League overall, averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game while committing just 2.3 turnovers per game. It's unlikely he'll break the team's rotation this year when the Knicks are healthy, but if he winds up being traded to a team with a less crowded backcourt, he could wind up being a fantasy contributor.
New York Knicks point guard Miles McBride (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. Cleveland due to right knee soreness. McBride had been previously tagged as probable, but the Knicks have opted to keep him sidelined. While the rookie's playing time began to grow in March, he has logged 20 or more minutes just twice this year, severely limiting any kind of fantasy intrigue. His absence is likely to open a few additional backcourt minutes, which could be absorbed by Immanuel Quickley or Ryan Arcidiacono. McBride's next chance to return to action comes Sunday against the Magic.
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie is dealing with right knee soreness, but it sounds like he'll be good to go for the team's next game. McBride has been the team's second guard off the bench lately. Immanuel Quickley has been the primary backup to the team's starting guards with McBride typically seeing around 10 minutes per game behind him. The rookie will need an injury ahead of him or a change in the depth chart in order to earn fantasy appeal before the season's end.
