McDermott will start at small forward in Sunday's game against the Rockets, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Mavericks being a bit undermanned Sunday, McDermott will enter the starting lineup in just his second game with the team. McDermott played 21 minutes off the bench and scored eight points in his debut Saturday, but he should be in line for a heavy dose of minutes with Dallas operating with little depth in Houston.

McDermott will make his Mavericks' debut Saturday against the Lakers, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott was traded to Dallas as part of a three-team deal and could see a decent amount of minutes in his new home. Head coach Rick Carlisle want to utilize the new addition at both small and power forward through the remainder of the season. In 55 games with the Knicks this season, McDermott has averaged 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists in just under 21 minutes per contest.

McDermott was traded to the Mavericks on Thursday as part of a three-team deal involving the Nuggets and Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott's arrival in Dallas gives the Mavericks some much-needed depth on the wing, as the team didn't have much to work with behind Harrison Barnes. As a result, McDermott should go from seeing fluctuating minutes in New York to being a legitimate contributor on the Mavericks' second unit for the rest of the regular season, making him an intriguing fantasy option moving forward. With Dallas scheduled to play Thursday night at Golden State, the earliest McDermott will likely be able to make his Mavericks debut will be Saturday against the Lakers.

McDermott delivered four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 103-89 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has been held to single digits in scoring in 11 consecutive contests. The Knicks will be looking for guys to pick up the slack following the loss of Kristaps Porzingis (torn ACL), but McDermott has only developed a reputation for his inconsistencies.

McDermott will start at small forward for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott will be making his first start of the 2017-18 campaign Wednesday, as the Knicks are opting to shift Lance Thomas to the bench in what is likely a matchup-based decision. With the move to the top unit, McDermott could see a handful more minutes than the 24.0 he's averaged thus far this year. That said, it's unclear if this is just a one-game experiment or if coach Jeff Hornacek will try this lineup out for awhile, so it may be a situation to monitor moving forward.

McDermott managed 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 115-86 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has hit double figures in scoring in seven of 21 appearances, as there's not a ton of time available behind Courtney Lee and Tim Hardaway Jr. on most nights. Given that McDermott doesn't do much else besides score (and inconsistently), he's tough to trust outside of deep leagues.

McDermott tallied 20 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-113 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott was nearly perfect from the field en route to dropping a season-high 20 points on the Hornets, helping lead the team to victory. He scored 20 or more points just four times all of last season, so this performance is certainly one to remember for the fourth-year player.

McDermott had four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott was held to single digits in scoring for the sixth time in nine games, and this was the fourth time he failed to earn at least 20 minutes. Those who were expecting McDermott to flourish in fantasy this season have to be a bit disappointed, as it's been more of the same for the inconsistent fourth-year small forward.

McDermott had 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott came into Friday with a minor finger injury, but he played through the ailment and impressed in 24 minutes of action. Look for McDermott, who came over from Oklahoma City in the Carmelo Anthony deal, to be a consistent part of the Knicks' frontcourt rotation this season.

McDermott is dealing with a finger injury and has been ruled out for Monday's preseason matchup with the Rockets, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first we've heard of the injury for McDermott, but there's no reason for him to play through it in a meaningless preseason contest. He remains on track to be ready for the regular-season opener, though the Knicks could remain cautious and keep him out for the preseason finale on Friday. Tentatively consider him questionable for that contest.
