Beasley (illness) did not practice Thursday and is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Brian Heyman of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley was held out of Wednesday's game against the Magic and looks to be at risk of missing Friday's outing after failing to make Thursday's sessions. It's possible, however, that Beasley just needed another day off and will be good to go Friday, but the team likely won't provide an update on his status until after the Knicks' shootaround in the morning.

Beasley (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering it's just an illness for Beasley, it shouldn't keep him sidelined for long and there's a realistic chance he's back in the lineup as soon as Friday's tilt with the Heat. However, he's not feeling healthy enough to play Tuesday and will join Enes Kanter (back, wrist) on the sidelines. With Beasley and Kanter out, look for the likes of Lance Thomas, Kyle O'Quinn and Luke Kornet to see big minutes in the frontcourt, with Thomas and O'Quinn the likely starters.

Beasley is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando due to an illness, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley landed on the injury report Monday morning, but his status likely won't be updated until shootaround Tuesday. The 29-year-old is coming off of a strong showing in Saturday's loss to Detroit, when had 32 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 29 minutes of action.

Beasley supplied 32 points (14-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Saturday's 115-109 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley stepped up in a major way in the absence of Enes Kanter (back), posting his third consecutive game of over 20 points in the process. Beasley has put to the ball up on at least 20 occasions during those contests as well, and prior to Saturday, he'd also been offering steady production on the boards by hauling in between six and 13 rebounds in eight straight contests. If Kanter is forced to miss multiple games, Beasley should only continue to thrive in his absence.

Beasley produced 27 points (12-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 137-128 overtime loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley took the most shots in a game Monday night since early February, as the he and Trey Burke were the two main sources of offense for the Knicks. Efficient nights like Monday show what Beasley has to offer as a forward, as the rebounds will always be there while the points will fluctuate.

Beasley tallied 12 points (6-13 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes in Sunday's 101-97 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley has been a staple in the Knicks lineup for a while now while a bunch of other changes have been happening, and he continues to produce solid stat lines. Sunday night marked a modest point total because of his inability to get to the line or stretch the floor, but what he can't do scoring he makes up for on the boards for a forward.

Beasley had 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 119-98 loss to Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley continued his strong play, finishing in double-figures for the fifth time in his last six games. He offers very little on the defensive end of the floor but has never seen a shot he isn't afraid of. It will be interesting to see whether the Knicks decide to rest him down the stretch but until then, he remains a must-own player in most formats.

Beasley scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 110-92 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
After managing only eight points in 23 minutes Saturday, Beasley was a little more productive with his reduced court time in this one. With a spot in the draft lottery secure, the Knicks will likely continue spreading their minutes around every chance they get as they evaluate the bottom half of the roster, which makes Beasley and the other regular starters more volatile fantasy assets than they might be otherwise.

Beasley tallied 24 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Thursday's 118-110 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley received little help in the defeat Thursday night, as he was able to lead the Knicks in both rebounds and scoring on the night. Beasley has his on and off nights, with Thursday night's efficiency representing the ceiling of his caliber, especially on a struggling team.
