McBride is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
As expected, McBride gets the start in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle). In his lone start of the season, McBride notched 23 points, six rebounds, three assists, three blocks, three steals and five triples in a win over the Bulls on Feb. 20.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Could see larger role
Rotowire
McBride registered zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Despite this scoreless dud, McBride is going to be a potential pickup in fantasy formats with Jalen Brunson spraining his ankle late in this contest. In his only start of the season, McBride racked up 23 points, six rebounds, three assists, three blocks, three steals and five triples. It remains unclear if Brunson will be able to give it a go Friday against the Clippers.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Solid output in starting role
Rotowire
McBride provided 23 points (9-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals across 42 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 overtime win over the Bulls.
McBride got his first start of the season Thursday due to the absence of Josh Hart (knee), and the former was excellent on both ends of the court. The 23-point output was a new season-high mark while recording at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. McBride should remain in a starting role until Hart is ready to return, although his status for Friday's game against the Cavaliers remains in the air.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Available to play Sunday
Rotowire
McBride (hamstring) is listed as available to play in Sunday's game against the Bucks.
The 24-year-old's status was not updated prior to the club's 3:00 p.m. tipoff, and he will likely remain limited while he works his way back into playing form following a five-game absence streak due to a left hamstring strain. McBride returned to action in Friday's blowout loss to the Thunder, during which he contributed seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 20 minutes.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Records five assists in return
Rotowire
McBride (hamstring) tallied seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 20 minutes in Friday's 126-101 loss to the Thunder.
After missing the previous five games with a strained hamstring, McBride stepped back into his usual role as the Knicks' lead guard off the bench, outpacing both Landry Shamet (15 minutes) and Cameron Payne (15 minutes) in playing time. McBride will be the most likely candidate to move into the Knicks' starting five and take on a 30-plus-minute role if any of Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby or Josh Hart were to miss time with an injury, but in his current role, McBride's fantasy appeal is mostly limited to 14-team leagues or deeper.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
McBride (hamstring) is questionable to play Friday against the Thunder.
McBride is in danger of missing his sixth consecutive game, which is unfortunate for New York because prior to his hamstring injury, he averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks over 24.6 minutes. Cameron Payne will likely serve as the Knicks' backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson if McBride does not suit up.
