Beasley collected 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assist, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 121-103 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Knicks did not find any success with their starting unit, Beasley showed his ability to stuff the stat sheet off the bench. Wednesday marks the second-straight game in which Beasley led the Knicks in scoring, and he should continue to be one of the offensive leaders for the team until Tim Hardaway (leg) returns.

Beasley contributed 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during a 100-91 loss to the Spurs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley's 18 points marked a team high and he fell just one rebound shy of his third double-double of the season. After three consecutive quiet outings, Beasley has rebounded, with at least 15 points in his last three games. Beasley's value will likely take a hit when Tim Hardaway (leg) returns, but he has been a fairly consistent source of points and rebounds lately.

Beasley scored 15 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-5 FT) to go with five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 win against New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
As of late, Beasley has become a steady scoring option for New York. After Saturday's bench leading 15 points, the guard is averaging 17.3 points in his last ten games. In addition, Beasley is shooting a rather efficient 51.0 percent from the floor on 14.1 shots per game over this span. Of his last ten games, he has scored at least 20 points in four of them, including a season-high 32 points against Boston on December 21. However, his minutes dropped from 33 on Thursday when he scored 23 points to 20 minutes on Saturday. Despite his drop in playing time, Beasley salvaged a solid offensive performance. However, Beasley's offensive production is contingent on the minutes he sees off of the bench, making him a shaky option on a nightly basis.

Beasley posted 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Thursday's 119-107 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley's scoring and rebounding totals both paced the Knicks on the night, and his performance was his fourth of greater than 20 points in the last seven. The veteran's work on the glass equaled his best haul of the season as well and led to his second double-double within the last five games. Beasley's minutes continue to fluctuate between the teens and the mid-to-high 30s, however, so it's difficult to get a feel for his potential production from one game to the next.

Beasley accounted for 32 points (13-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes Thursday in New York's win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Chants of "M-V-P" rained down onto the court in Madison Square, and they were well deserved. Beasley dominated the Celtics Thursday, and he was methodical in his approach. On each touch, Beasley got himself into a good position to score, and he was converting consistently. Beasley is enjoying a renaissance of sorts in his first year with the Knicks. He is establishing himself as the second option on offense, and it's a beautiful sight.

Beasley will shift back to a bench role for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley has started the last two games with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) out with an injury, though Porzingis is now back and is set to take on his usual role in the top unit. That sends Beasely back to the bench and he should see his minutes fall back into the upper-teens or low-20s, which severely restricts his fantasy upside moving forward.

Beasley will make another start in place of Kristaps Porzingis (knee) on Monday against the Hornets, Stephanie Ready of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Beasley will again be the fill-in as Porzingis misses a second straight game with a sore left knee. Beasley erupted for 30 points in Saturday's win over the Thunder, going 11-of-18 from the floor while adding four assists and five rebounds in 37 minutes.

Beasley finished with 30 points (11-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley was in the starting lineup for the injured Kristaps Porzingis (knee), and thrived, finishing with 30 points on just 18 field-goal attempts. He has been wildly inconsistent this season, but has managed to score in double-figures in six of his last eight games. He will never offer much more than scoring, and this tends to only come when there is an injury to one of the starters. Porzingis could return as soon as Monday against the Hornets, which would send Beasley back to a bench role.

Beasley will start Saturday's game against the Thunder, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks will hold out Kristaps Porzingis (knee), so Beasley will move into the starting lineup at power forward and will be in line for increased minutes. Lance Thomas, Kyle O'Quinn and Doug McDermott could also be set for slightly larger roles, and the Knicks will activate Joakim Noah for extra depth up front.

Beasley tallied 15 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during a 111-104 win over the Nets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley scored in double figures for the fifth time in the last seven games in the victory. He was able to get off an astounding 16 field goal attempts in just 20 minutes of action. If Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is forced to miss any time, that could open up a larger scoring role for Beasley.
