Baron Davis, who injured his right hamstring on Friday, will not travel with the team to Indiana where they will face the Pacers on Saturday. If Davis misses an extended period time, which is likely, look for Mike Bibby to fill in for him backing up Jeremy Lin.

Baron Davis left Friday's game in the first half with a right hamstring injury, went straight to the locker room and will not return. Mike Woodson got a quick reminder of why he needs to rely on Jeremy Lin going forward, as Davis simply can't stay healthy at this stage of his career.

Baron Davis (upset stomach) is probable for Wednesday against the Blazers. It sounds like B-Diddy will be just fine for Wednesday's affair. Davis has played under 20 minutes in each of New York's last two games and is not an option for owners in standard-sized leagues.

Baron Davis scored seven points on 3-of-6 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday. Davis has settled into a backup role quite nicely, which is probably best for him at this stage in his career. If you're in a deeper format, his recent numbers are going to be there despite the limited minutes that he plays.

Baron Davis scored eight points with three rebounds and three assists on Sunday against the 76ers. He played only 13 minutes, and he isn't receiving enough playing time behind Jeremy Lin to warrant a pickup right now.

Baron Davis scored nine points on 4-of-10 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 31 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Bucks. This was a strange game with a frenetic pace, and it was most certainly an outlier. Meanwhile, Davis' play is also hard to gauge, as sometimes the per-minute numbers are there but his overall contribution to the team is iffy, at best. He's certainly not worth picking up in 12-14 team formats, but we'll be watching closely to see how this all plays out. And no, he's not a threat to Jeremy Lin.

Baron Davis had an up-and-down game on Sunday against the Celtics, scoring eight points and dishing out seven assists, while also committing six turnovers. Davis received some extra run in the first half because Jeremy Lin was in foul trouble, and every offensive possession that he was apart of was a true adventure. Davis made a number of pretty passes, but also threw the ball all around the arena, as well. Still, he looked much better and could be well on his way to earning more minutes. Continue to monitor him.

Baron Davis and Jeremy Lin shared the Knicks' backcourt during a scrimmage on Friday, but Mike D'Antoni is uncertain whether he'll deploy them simultaneously during games. "They can play together because Baron can guard bigger guards so that's definitely a possibility," said D'Antoni. "Whether you want that or not we'll see because that means JR, Shumpert, Novak, Melo, somebody's not playing. That's hard. You have to be really good together." Baron and Lin didn't play a second together on Wednesday and we're not projecting much from this tidbit, but it's worth watching for on Saturday.

Baron Davis said his goal is to "peaking by April." Davis said he didn't want to be judged on a game-by-game basis because he hasn't played in so long, but he hasn't shown much in a reserve role thus far behind Jeremy Lin. "It takes time to feel comfortable and start popping wheelies again," said Davis, indicating that he's still working his way back into the flow of the game. He belongs on waiver wires in standard sized leagues right now.

Baron Davis (back) made his Knicks debut on Monday, scoring three points on 1-of-2 shooting with one assist in just under 10 minutes. Davis' only make was a three, and he looked very slow and very old, unsurprisingly. When shadowing opposing ball-handlers in the full court at full speed, Davis looked unsure of his footing and afraid to open it up. Perhaps those things will change with time, but nothing we saw gave us the impression that he's capable of handling more than spot-minutes.
