New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) will return to action in Friday's matchup against Orlando. The first-year All-Star ended up sitting out only one game with a left knee contusion. Brunson's return pushes Miles McBride back to the bench. The 23-year-old has struggled to get meaningful minutes as a member of the second unit and won't have much fantasy value. The Knicks star makes his return in a juicy spot, as the Magic will be without their best backcourt defender Jalen Suggs (thigh), which puts Brunson in a good position to go off for a big night.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (knee) participated in most of practice on Thursday, per head coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau said he doesn't know what the Knicks will list Brunson as on the upcoming injury report for Friday's matchup versus the Orlando Magic. New York will officially provide the All-Star guard's designation later on Thursday, but he should be considered questionable at this juncture. In five appearances without Brunson this year, Miles McBride is offering 16.2 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.0 triples per game and would likely remain in the starting backcourt if Brunson remains out for a second straight game on Friday.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) will sit out Tuesday's clash with Atlanta. He's been downgraded from questionable to out due to a left knee contusion sustained in the previous game against Cleveland. Miles McBride is looking at a fresh opportunity to start, while Shake Milton is ready for his Knicks debut after he was snapped up following a buyout agreement with the Pistons. McBride has averaged 17.5 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in four games without Brunson this season.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta. The Knicks star hurt his left knee at the weekend against Cleveland, but Brunson luckily avoided serious injury, and it looks like he has a chance to play on Tuesday. However, if he isn't good to go, Miles McBride will likely become a popular pickup among fantasy managers. He put in a huge 47-minute shift after Brunson left on Sunday versus Cleveland and has already filled in for him in the starting unit a few times. The West Virginia product has averaged 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals as a starter. He should have no issues racking up the stats against a Hawks squad that shares the league's worst defensive efficiency with Washington.
