New York Knicks

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday against Houston. He's listed on the injury report as questionable with left patellar tendinopathy. Hart is New York's biggest contributor off the bench, and his absence would open up a large chunk of minutes. Quentin Grimes could rise into relevance again without Hart, while Miles McBride might also pick up some of the minutes.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's action against Houston. He suffered a left calf contusion last week and has been out for two games. It's not a serious issue, and Brunson even went through the warmups ahead of Monday's matchup against Orlando before sitting out the contest, so it looks like there's a strong chance he returns on Wednesday. Miles McBride has produced a pair of strong performances as Brunson's fill-in in the starting unit, but he's set to land back on the bench, which will rob him of most of his fantasy value.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game on Monday, as the team has listed him questionable for a tilt against Orlando. Following a run of three 30-point efforts in five outings, Brunson was forced to skip his first game of the season on Saturday versus Memphis. Miles McBride had a good game in his absence and could be looking at another start on Monday. He showcased an ability to help out fantasy managers in multiple areas at the weekend, posting 19 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old is on a roll this season, averaging a career-high 25.8 points. But he suffered a calf contusion in Thursday's meeting with the Mavericks, his former team, and had trouble walking after the contest. At any rate, if Brunson can't suit up on Saturday, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby could pick up most of the slack, with Miles McBride a favorite to enter the starting lineup. Malachi Flynn, who has logged only six minutes since being traded by the Raptors, could also see more work.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Cameron Payne (concussion) appears ready to return to action, with the team listing him as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against Boston. The veteran guard missed Monday's clash with Utah, after landing in concussion protocol. However, Payne practiced on Wednesday and should resume his normal duties as the backup point guard to Damian Lillard. Payne has averaged 6.1 points and 2.4 assists in 15.5 minutes for the year.
