New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne has missed the last four games with a hamstring strain. He'll get a chance to make an impact against his former team on Tuesday, but he hasn't been productive while active. He's averaged just 5.6 PPG and is only shooting 36.4% from the field. Fantasy managers may need to approach Payne's active status with caution before putting him in their lineups. A better DFS option may be Miles McBride who has averaged 11.2 PPG this season.
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. McBride had been dealing with knee inflammation but will be able to tough it out in the Knicks' in-season tournament opener. McBride has averaged 11.2 PPG this season and will be a decent fantasy option on Tuesday. The 24-year-old will also have fellow guard Cameron Payne active for the first time in four games but don't expect Payne's presence to result in decreased minutes or production for McBride. If DFS managers are looking to prioritize one or the other, McBride is the more reliable option.
New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne is dealing with a hamstring strain that has caused him to miss the last four games. With fellow guard Miles McBride also listed as questionable there may be more pressure for Payne to make his return. The 30-year-old has only averaged 5.6 PPG on a 36.4% field goal percentage, making him a very risky start for fantasy managers if he is able to go. Should neither Payne or McBride be able to suit up, expect rookie Tyler Kolek to get more bench minutes. Kolek should be considered a very volatile fantasy option given his limited minutes this season, though he has been efficient when taking shots (69.2% field goal percentage).
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. McBride has yet to miss a game this season and has made a solid impact coming off the Knicks' bench. The 24-year-old is averaging 11.2 PPG while shooting 39.6% from three. With fellow guard Cameron Payne also listed as questionable for tomorrow, expect Tyler Kolek to get more minutes off the bench if McBride is unable to go. Kolek is shooting well when in but on limited minutes. He would be a very volatile option for all fantasy formats and shouldn't be put in any lineups unless fantasy managers in deep leagues are desperate.
New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Payne missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Houston due to a hamstring strain. The veteran has averaged 15.4 minutes as a backup in New York, posting 5.6 points and 3.2 assists. Tyler Kolek gets more of a look in the rotation without Payne, but he doesn't provide anything for fantasy managers. Miles McBride also has a chance to play more. However, he was a massive disappointment against the Rockets, with a 0-for-9 effort from the field and zero points across 26 minutes.
