McBride is in the Knicks' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBride will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Wednesday due to Jalen Brunson being sidelined with a calf injury. McBride has averaged 9.1 points, 3.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds over 23.7 minutes per game across his last 15 outings, but he should have a bigger role in the offense due to Brunson's absence.

McBride produced eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and three steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 126-106 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

McBride is in a bit of a slump, as he's been held to single-digit points in four straight contests. During that span, he's averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 25.9 percent shooting from the field. He's due for some positive regression with his jumper.

McBride accumulated 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 139-125 victory over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

McBride's production has been all over the place in December, but he's seen at least 20 minutes in nine of his last 10 contests. During that span, he's produced averages of 9.9 points, 3.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 23.9 minutes.

McBride closed Wednesday's 108-100 loss to the Hawks with five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

McBride scored in single digits for the third straight game, continuing what has been a slightly underwhelming season. Despite averaging 25.4 minutes per game off the bench, McBride is averaging just 10.6 points and 2.9 assists. While an injury to any member of the starting five could open up more playing time for McBride, his current role seems unlikely to yield sizeable contributions.

McBride finished with 18 points (5-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-106 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Since his dud against the Mavericks on Nov. 27, McBride is suddenly on a heater off the bench. In his last three appearances, the guard has produced averages of 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.3 three-pointers, good for eighth-round value in nine-category formats during that stretch.

McBride had 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Friday's 99-98 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

McBride lifted the Knicks bench in Friday's contest, providing a spark by connecting on a pair of threes and leading all players on the second unit in scoring. McBride has surpassed the double-digit scoring total in nine games off the bench this season, doing so in two of his last three outings.

McBride (knee) tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes Monday in the Knicks' 145-118 win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't ease McBride back into the mix after the 24-year-old guard missed the previous five games with left knee patella femoral syndrome. The 28 minutes he received was just one off a season high, and McBride was efficient in his opportunities, knocking down half of his attempts from beyond the arc while not committing a turnover. Thibodeau ran a tight eight-man rotation while the game was still competitive, so a 25-to-30-minute-per-game role could become the norm for McBride now that he's healthy again.

EDGE Analysis

McBride has missed the Knicks' last five outings due to an illness and left knee inflammation, though he appears to be ready to reprise his significant role off the bench. In his last five appearances before the absence streak, the 24-year-old guard averaged 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 26.8 minutes per game.

McBride (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

McBride is in jeopardy of missing a sixth consecutive game due to a left knee injury. If he is unable to go, Cameron Payne and Tyler Kolek could see increased minutes.

McBride (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBride will miss a fifth consecutive game. However, coach Tom Thibodeau said McBride was close to returning. His next chance to play will come Monday at Dallas. While he's idle, Tyler Kolek and Cameron Payne could see more minutes.
