Miles McBride Remains On The Shelf Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. He's recovering from left knee inflammation. Working as New York's sixth man, McBride has put up 10.7 points in 26.4 minutes this season while dishing out 2.5 assists. With him not out there, the starters carry a heavy load, with Cameron Payne, Tyler Kolek, and Pacome Dadiet getting extra work off the bench. Payne produced a 17-point, seven-assist effort in Monday's win over Washington, but it came in a blowout win, and he's hardly a reliable fantasy option. Meanwhile, Kolek and Dadiet are both rookies who are still trying to find their feet at this level.

Miles McBride Remains Sidelined Monday Against Wizards

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Monday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Washington Wizards. The fourth-year guard is dealing with knee inflammation which seems to be bad enough to cause the Knicks to take a cautious approach. Despite coming off of the bench, McBride has averaged 26.4 minutes per game this year, so his minutes will likely be split between Cameron Payne and the starters.

Miles McBride Remains Out On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Brooklyn. McBride has been the first guy off the bench behind the Knicks' stacked starting five this season, averaging 10.7 points and 2.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. With him out of the rotation, Cameron Payne and Pacome Dadiet have a chance to see extra action, but neither player is a good fantasy option. The Knicks starters will likely be in for another busy night as well -- three of them logged 39-plus minutes against the Nets on Friday.

Karl-Anthony Towns Back In Action Sunday

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Sunday. A knee contusion kept him off the floor against the Nets on Friday, but Towns makes a quick return. The Knicks' new star center had 46 points against Chicago in his last outing and has hit the 30-point mark four times in his most recent five appearances. He's in a great position to do a lot of damage again on Sunday, as Brooklyn is missing Nicolas Claxton (back) and hasn't done very well defensively against opposing centers. Jericho Sims lands back on the bench with Towns' return.

Karl-Anthony Towns Uncertain For Sunday’s Game

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 29-year-old All-Star is dealing with a left knee contusion that sidelined him in Friday's win, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return. Towns has been a key contributor this season, posting impressive averages of 26.5 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. In his last outing, he erupted for 46 points and 10 rebounds against the Chicago Bulls. Should Towns remain out, Jericho Sims could once again see extended minutes in the starting lineup.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable On Friday Versus Nets

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has received a questionable tag for their Friday night matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The former Minnesota Timberwolf has put up some fantastic offensive performances since joining the Knicks, and if he plays in this New York rivalry, he'll be primed for another big night against a weaker Nets frontcourt. On the other hand, if he doesn't suit up, the Knicks frontcourt is already thin, so Jericho Sims would see big minutes and join the starting five.

Jalen Brunson Expected To Suit Up Versus Brooklyn

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. However, it didn't keep Brunson off the floor for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls, with the 28-year-old finishing with 24 points, eight assists, and three boards. Barring a setback, Brunson should be out there and will remain a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Cameron Payne Active On Tuesday, Will Face Former Team

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne has missed the last four games with a hamstring strain. He'll get a chance to make an impact against his former team on Tuesday, but he hasn't been productive while active. He's averaged just 5.6 PPG and is only shooting 36.4% from the field. Fantasy managers may need to approach Payne's active status with caution before putting him in their lineups. A better DFS option may be Miles McBride who has averaged 11.2 PPG this season.

Miles McBride Active On Tuesday Against Sixers

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. McBride had been dealing with knee inflammation but will be able to tough it out in the Knicks' in-season tournament opener. McBride has averaged 11.2 PPG this season and will be a decent fantasy option on Tuesday. The 24-year-old will also have fellow guard Cameron Payne active for the first time in four games but don't expect Payne's presence to result in decreased minutes or production for McBride. If DFS managers are looking to prioritize one or the other, McBride is the more reliable option.

Cameron Payne  • PG  •  Knicks

Cameron Payne Still Dealing With Hamstring Strain, Questionable For Tuesday

New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne is dealing with a hamstring strain that has caused him to miss the last four games. With fellow guard Miles McBride also listed as questionable there may be more pressure for Payne to make his return. The 30-year-old has only averaged 5.6 PPG on a 36.4% field goal percentage, making him a very risky start for fantasy managers if he is able to go. Should neither Payne or McBride be able to suit up, expect rookie Tyler Kolek to get more bench minutes. Kolek should be considered a very volatile fantasy option given his limited minutes this season, though he has been efficient when taking shots (69.2% field goal percentage).

Miles McBride Dealing With Knee Inflammation, Questionable For Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. McBride has yet to miss a game this season and has made a solid impact coming off the Knicks' bench. The 24-year-old is averaging 11.2 PPG while shooting 39.6% from three. With fellow guard Cameron Payne also listed as questionable for tomorrow, expect Tyler Kolek to get more minutes off the bench if McBride is unable to go. Kolek is shooting well when in but on limited minutes. He would be a very volatile option for all fantasy formats and shouldn't be put in any lineups unless fantasy managers in deep leagues are desperate.

Cameron Payne Considered Questionable For Wednesday's Game

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Payne missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Houston due to a hamstring strain. The veteran has averaged 15.4 minutes as a backup in New York, posting 5.6 points and 3.2 assists. Tyler Kolek gets more of a look in the rotation without Payne, but he doesn't provide anything for fantasy managers. Miles McBride also has a chance to play more. However, he was a massive disappointment against the Rockets, with a 0-for-9 effort from the field and zero points across 26 minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Available On Friday

New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns is available and starting for the Knicks on Friday in their matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Towns was originally listed as questionable with a wrist injury but will be able to play through the pain. The 28-year-old will have a tough matchup against the Pistons who have been strong defensively against forwards. Towns has been sporadic in his offensive production so far, posting up point totals of 12, 21, 13 and 44 on the season. He's providing much more consistency from a rebounding perspective, averaging 11.3 RPG. Fantasy managers will certainly still want him in their starting lineups no matter what. DFS managers may want to take caution with adding him in their lineups given the volatility of tonight's matchup.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Versus The Pistons

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. KAT was decent in his first three games as a Knick. Yet, he came to life in Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat, ending the night with 44 points and 13 rebounds while going 4-for-5 from behind the arc. The Knicks are thin as it is underneath the basket, so the team can't afford any more absences. If Towns can't get on the floor, Jericho Sims and Ariel Hukporti could split time underneath the rim, although neither player is worth adding to any redraft roster.

Josh Hart Available On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (shin) is officially available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Hart was a game-time decision heading into this contest, but it appears he was able to get through his pregame routine without any issues. He figures to resume his spot in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game. Hart is averaging 16 points, nine rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 33 minutes in three games this season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Hart in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Josh Hart Uncertain To Face The Heat

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat. He took a beating in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers before exiting late in the contest because of a right lower leg contusion. However, the veteran had played well up to that point and finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds, and three steals. Hart has been known to play through injuries, so there's a good chance he'll be out there. But if he's not, Miles McBride and Ariel Hukporti could see significantly more work from off the bench.

Josh Hart Exits Early Versus Cleveland

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) didn't finish Monday's game against Cleveland. Hart was on the injury report ahead of the contest with an ankle impingement and appeared to have hurt his ankle late in the game, missing the final few minutes. Before being forced to leave, Hart put together a good line with 16 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, and three steals. It's likely Hart will remain on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash with Miami. His absence would provide a boost to Miles McBride's fantasy stock. He's averaged 14.7 points and 2.7 assists in 25.3 minutes this season.

Josh Hart Playing Monday

Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports that the New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is warming up to play against the Cavaliers on Monday. Hart has been battling a right ankle injury, but he has been playing well this season, averaging 16 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. With the 29-year-olds minutes likely limited, Miles McBride will be the top candidate to see minutes off the bench. Unfortunately, McBride isn't always reliable fantasy-wise.

Josh Hart May Miss Monday's Meeting With Cleveland

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 29-year-old has played well this season, averaging 16 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Unfortunately, he's in danger of missing the meeting with the Cavs because of right ankle impingement. The Knicks already have depth issues as it is, with Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined. But if Hart joins them on the shelf, Tom Thibodeau may need to rely more on Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Jericho Sims. However, those three players aren't always reliable from a fantasy standpoint.

Precious Achiuwa Out For 2-4 Weeks With Hamstring Strain

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) will be out for at least the next two to four weeks as he deals with a strained left hamstring. According to Shams Charania, that's the timetable for when the team will re-evaluate him, so he has a chance to miss even more time than that. Since Mitchell Robinson (foot) is also out, the Knicks' frontcourt situation is going to be quite thin to start the season. Newly acquired Karl-Anthony Towns will start while Jericho Sims is the next big man on the depth chart. They could also opt to go with some small ball lineups featuring Josh Hart and OG Anunoby in the frontcourt.
