Miles McBride DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride is not in the starting lineup for Friday's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With Josh Hart (knee) joining OG Anunoby (foot) on the sidelines, McBride was promoted to the starting unit for Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. He helped the team sneak an overtime win with a season-high 23 points. However, McBride will be back with the second unit on Friday as Anunoby is set to return to action. Precious Achiuwa, who has been filling in for Anunoby during his six-game absence, will remain among the starters.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa and guard Miles McBride will start in Thursday's game against Chicago. Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (foot) are both unavailable, so the team will need to plug some holes in the starting lineup. Granted, the Knicks still have Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges. But Achiuwa and McBride could easily exceed usual expectations, so both are worth streaming in any fantasy format. Cameron Payne should also receive his share of work from off the bench.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (ribs) will be active on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. McBride suffered a rib contusion against the Atlanta Hawks before the All-Star break but is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's action. The 24-year-old has had a fairly quiet campaign, averaging 9.0 points and 2.6 assists in 23.2 minutes, but he may make more noise on Thursday due to Josh Hart's (knee) absence. It's a great fantasy matchup for the Knicks players, as the Bulls like to push the tempo but have a leaky defense.
