McBride (personal) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Jalen Brunson (ankle) is out again for New York, so McBride's status is worth monitoring closely with the team so shorthanded in the backcourt. McBride drew the start in Friday's win over the Heat, finishing with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists and three rebounds over 30 minutes. If he can't go, the Knicks will likely rely heavily on Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson.

McBride posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists and three rebounds over 30 minutes during the Knicks' 140-132 win over the Heat on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McBride drew his second start of the season Friday due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), and the former was poised to take on an even greater role following OG Anunboy's exit in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. However, while McBride struggled with his efficiency from the field (particularly from deep), it was the veteran bench duo of Jordan Clarkson (24 points) and Landry Shamet (36 points) who gave the Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns (39 points) the much-needed scoring support in a high-scoring affair. McBride could be in line for more starts in the short-term, as Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game road trip, which begins Monday with a rematch against the Heat.

McBride is part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Miami, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

McBride will replace Jalen Brunson (ankle) in the starting lineup Friday night, a role he could continue to hold if Brunson is forced to miss multiple games. McBride has topped 25 minutes in three games this season, and he's averaging 11.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals during that stretch. He played 32 minutes in his only start of 2025-26.

McBride finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

McBride has seen his role decrease considerably in the past few games, averaging 6.5 points in 16.8 minutes in his last four games after averaging 10.3 points through 27.5 minutes in his first four. It is likely that the return of Mitchell Robinson shook up the rotation to take away some minutes from McBride, but regardless, he has been a contributing factor off the bench for New York and will continue to back up Jalen Brunson.

McBride amassed 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

McBride is one of the key scorers for New York off the bench, and he was able to turn in an efficient performance offensively. He has also registered one steal in every game he's played so far this season. He is averaging 9.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.2 threes made.

McBride closed with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 135-125 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

McBride returned after missing the previous two games due to personal issues. While the production was nothing to write home about, the fact that he played 29 minutes despite coming off the bench was a real positive. Both Landry Shamet and Josh Hart played just 15 minutes, indicating that McBride could very well be positioned to serve as the team's sixth man, at least for the foreseeable future.

McBride (personal) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

McBride missed the last two games due to personal reasons. He'll be a welcome addition to the backcourt. Over the course of the two games he's played this season, the West Virginia product averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 38.9 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc.

McBride (personal) is likely to play in Friday's game against the Bulls, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being away from the Knicks for their last two games, McBride has rejoined the team in Chicago and is expected to be available Friday. The combo guard will likely help fill out the reserve minutes alongside Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt behind Jalen Brunson, which could hurt the fantasy upside of Landry Shamet.

McBride (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

McBride will miss a second straight game for personal reasons. The team will likely continue to lean on Jordan Clarkson to help shoulder the load in the backcourt. The next chance for McBride to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Bulls.

McBride (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

McBride sat out Sunday's game for personal reasons, and his availability for Tuesday remains uncertain. In his absence, big man Ariel Hukporti moved into the starting lineup and could do so again if McBride remains out, while guards Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek would be in line to see increased opportunities in the backcourt.
