Baker will return to his usual role off the bench for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Derrick Rose (foot) returning to the starting five, Baker will head back to the bench. On the season, he's averaging 3.5 points across 13.3 minutes per game, and should see around 10 to 20 minutes of action Saturday.

Baker will draw the start at point guard for Thursday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Derrick Rose (foot) out Thursday, Baker will draw the start. He's averaging 5.8 points, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 steals across 22.0 minutes per game over the past four games, but will likely see more run against the Trail Blazers. That being said, he could very well split time at the point guard with Chasson Randle, possibly limiting his production potential.

Baker finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes in Monday's 114-105 loss against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Baker made the most of his opportunity, taking advantage of the shaky play of Courtney Lee at the two. He isn't likely to see a ton of playing time going forward, but when he gets his chances he certainly doesn't squander the opportunity.

Baker will return to the bench for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Baker drew the spot start on Monday with Carmelo Anthony sitting out with an injury, but ended up going scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with three assists across just 17 minutes. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday and should settle into a minor reserve role behind Derrick Rose at point guard, thus limiting his fantasy upside.

Baker will enter the starting five for Monday's matchup with the Magic, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker has struggled to receive a ton of minutes with the Knicks this season, even seeing some time with the D-League's Westchester Knicks to get him extended time. However, with Carmelo Anthony (knee) sitting out, the Knicks will go with a three-guard lineup Monday and give Baker a shot to run with the first team. Baker has started three previous games this season, which he's come out of with averages of just 4.7 points and 2.0 rebounds over 17.7 minutes, so he shouldn't be relied upon for DFS purposes.

Baker was assigned to the D-League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Baker has played just two total minutes in two games since the All-Star break for New York, so he'll be able to receive some additional playing time at the D-League level.

Baker (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 94-90 win over the Spurs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Jeff Hornacek elected to run with a nine-man rotation in a competitive contest Sunday, resulting in Baker getting squeezed out while Derrick Rose, Courtney Lee, Brandon Jennings and Justin Holiday saw all the minutes at either backcourt spot. Baker has seen five or fewer minutes in five of the last six contests, so even if he does pick up court time in subsequent games, he likely won't benefit from much extended run.

Baker finished with two points (1-4 FG), two rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during a 113-110 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Baker got his third start in a row on Thursday, and had basically zero game impact on the second leg of a back-to-back. After going scoreless against Boston on Wednesday, Baker ran around aimlessly looking for catch-and-shoot opportunities on the perimeter that never materialized. With Porzingis working his way back to full health, Baker hasn't done himself any favors to earn minutes in the near future.

Baker is expected to remain in the starting lineup Wednesday against Boston, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a surprising decision, Baker made his first career NBA start Monday against the Hawks, displacing Courtney Lee at shooting guard. Baker finished with 12 points, three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 22 minutes, apparently enough to warrant another start as the Knicks look to snap out of a recent slump.

Baker started and scored 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) while adding three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 22 minutes during Monday's 108-107 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

This is only the third time Baker has seen more than 20 minutes, though it was the second such occurrence in a week. Baker was moved into the starting lineup over Courtney Lee, who was unimpressive in 21 minutes. It is not yet clear if this was a long-term swap, or a short-term experiment, so that Baker outplayed Lee is significant. Neither are effective enough to have much value, however, as long as they are playing around 20 minutes per game.
