McBride (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.
McBride will miss his fourth consecutive game, which is concerning for the Knicks because prior to his absence, he was a key contributor among the bench unit, averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks over 26.3 minutes. After getting over an illness, McBride sustained inflammation in his left knee that will continue to keep him out through at least Wednesday night. His next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Jazz.

McBride missed the previous two contests due to an illness, but he's now being listed with left knee inflammation, which he had been playing through before the aliment sidelined him for the first time this season.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
McBride is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to left knee inflammation, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride continues to manage a knee issue but hasn't missed a game yet this season. He posted 15 points (6-12 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, showing no signs of an injury. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Cameron Payne (hamstring) are also questionable for the second night of New York's back-to-back set, so the Knicks' backcourt depth could be in serious jeopardy versus Chicago.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
McBride (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride is dealing with left knee inflammation, though he will play through it and seemingly shoulder his normal workload off the bench in the club's first NBA Cup matchup. The 24-year-old has been the Knicks' top option off the bench through nine regular-season outings, during which he has averaged 11.2 points, 2.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals while shooting 44.0 percent across 26.8 minutes per game.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable due to illness
Rotowire
McBride is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to an illness.
Not having McBride available off the bench would be a serious problem for the Knicks, as he can fill both positions in the backcourt while being a reliable scorer in the second unit. McBride has scored in double digits in six of his eight outings this season. If he's unavailable to suit up Sunday, then Tyler Kolek, Matt Ryan and Pacome Dadiet could be in line for more minutes off the bench.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Strong effort off bench
Rotowire
McBride logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 116-94 win over the Bucks.
McBride has made multiple three-pointers in seven of his first eight appearances, and his five rebounds Friday set a new season-high mark for the backup point guard. Despite operating off the bench, McBride has played at least 20 minutes in all eight games, including 25-plus minutes in six straight.
McBride chipped in 16 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to the Hawks.
McBride was coming off a scoreless appearance in 26 minutes (0-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt) in the loss to the Rockets on Monday, but he bounced back admirably in this one and delivered his second-best scoring mark of the season. The inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis might hurt McBride's upside, as well as his role as a bench option, given Tom Thibodeau's tendency to give heavy minutes to the starters. However, McBride is making the most of his chances, and he's scored in double digits in five of his seven contests thus far while averaging 26.1 minutes per game. That should give him decent upside in most formats.
