McBride will start Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Jalen Brunson is out with an ankle injury, and it's unclear if he'll miss more time beyond Thursday. The Knicks added some backcourt depth in Alec Burks at the trade deadline, but he won't debut Thursday. However, Burks' arrival could be a threat to McBride's workload going forward.

McBride finished with 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

McBride wasn't shy Tuesday, putting up 14 shot attempts. The big story from this game is that Jalen Brunson left early with an ankle injury, and the severity isn't known yet. If Brunson misses time, McBride could step into a big role considering how shorthanded the Knicks currently are.

McBride racked up 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 113-92 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Minutes won't be easy to come by behind Jalen Brunson, but McBride has made the most of his limited action. Over the past five games, McBride has shot 51.7 percent from the field with averages of 8.8 points, 1.0 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 14.2 minutes.

McBride won't start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

With Jalen Brunson (calf) sidelined, McBride drew back-to-back starts, but the former has been cleared to play, sending the latter back to a bench role. However, McBride should still operate as the primary backup to Brunson. Over his last eight appearances off the bench, McBride has averaged 7.0 points on 41.5 percent shooting in 13.4 minutes per game.

McBride chipped in 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 98-94 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second straight start with Jalen Brunson (calf) unavailable, McBride led the Knicks in scoring while setting a new career single-game high, topping the 19 points he produced Saturday in his first start. The third-year guard was already seeing an elevated role in the wake of the Immanuel Quickley trade, and over the last seven games, he's gone an eye-popping 19-for-38 from three-point range, a performance that should keep him in a prominent spot in the backcourt rotation even after Brunson gets healthy.

McBride closed Saturday's 106-94 victory over Memphis with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

McBride started for the first time this season and didn't disappoint, as he notched his best scoring mark of the campaign while also posting season-best outputs in rebounds and assists, tying his previous campaign-best mark in the latter category. McBride might remain in the starting unit if Jalen Brunson (calf) is unavailable to play against the Magic on Monday.

McBride is in the starting lineup to face the Grizzlies on Saturday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBride will jump to the starting unit with Jalen Brunson (calf) sidelined. This will be McBride's first start of the season, and he should see a sizable uptick in his minutes after he averaged just 13.8 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

McBride recorded 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 112-84 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

McBride carved out a top backup spot after the Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to the Raptors in exchange for OG Anunoby. McBride has played double-digit minutes in five of the last six games, averaging 7.3 points and 1.7 assists during that stretch. However, his season-high 22 minutes versus the Trail Blazers was likely due to the blowout nature of Tuesday's contest. While McBride is playing more, he's not expected to see over 20 minutes consistently.

McBride chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist in 18 minutes during Saturday's 140-126 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto in exchange for O.G. Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn on Saturday, and they signed McBride to a three-year, $13 million extension later that night. McBride will compete with Flynn for backup point guard duties going forward, but McBridge has the edge for now with Flynn battling an ankle sprain.

McBridge was called up to the Knicks from the G League on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McBride is a defensive specialist for the Knicks and has appeared in 11 of the past 12 games, though he's seen double-digit minutes only once.
