McBride finished with 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
McBride has had a limited impact for the Knicks in recent weeks, but he played double-digit minutes for a second consecutive game Tuesday and posted a season-high 18 points during the comfortable win. However, his role will likely decrease once Jalen Brunson (foot) is cleared to return.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Logs 17 minutes
Rotowire
McBride had eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 17 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 victory over the Lakers.
The 2021 second-round pick was called up from the G League at the beginning of the month, and although his usually deadly three-point stroke hasn't shown up since rejoining the parent team, he's been pretty efficient in limited action. McBride will have trouble seeing more time due to the crowded depth chart, and a demotion back to the G League could happen at any moment.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Set for brief G League stint
Rotowire
The Knicks assigned McBride to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday, but he'll be recalled ahead of New York's game against the Nets later in the day, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
The second-year guard out of West Virginia hasn't been a regular part of the NBA rotation of late, so he'll get an opportunity to play some extended minutes with Westchester, who hosts the Delaware Blue Coats at 11 a.m. ET. He'll then have a few hours to rest up before the Knicks host the Nets at 7:30 p.m. ET, but McBride is still unlikely to see the court outside of a garbage-time scenario.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Sparks comeback win
Rotowire
McBride chipped in 14 points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 win over the 76ers.
After McBride saw between nine and 13 minutes in each of the Knicks' previous seven games, the late scratch of RJ Barrett (illness) created a window for the second-year guard to pick up more playing time. The fact that the Knicks faced a 21-point deficit at one point in the first quarter also helped McBride, who provided an immediate spark as New York trimmed the Philadelphia advantage to just two points by halftime. The 14 points tied a season high for McBride, who was a game-best plus-34 during his time on the court.

McBride amassed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) across 18 minutes during Monday's 102-83 victory over the Suns.

McBride is starting Thursday's game against the Spurs, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
McBride will slot into the starting five for the first time this season with Jalen Brunson (hip) out of commission Thursday evening. McBride is coming off his heaviest workload of the 2022-23 campaign Tuesday night against the Mavs, as he logged 46 minutes in the overtime loss.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Gets massive minutes in OT loss
Rotowire
McBride played a career-high 46 minutes and finished with 14 points (4-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two steals, one rebound and one assist in Tuesday's 126-121 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
After having cleared 30 minutes just once in his first 62 career NBA games, McBride received all the run he could handle Tuesday thanks to the extra period along with the absence of Jalen Brunson (hip) and the early exit of RJ Barrett (finger). Brunson could be back for Thursday's game in San Antonio, but with Barrett expected to remain out for the next week, McBride could benefit from a short-term spike in playing time if the Knicks are willing to deploy him an off-ball role like they did Tuesday rather than as a pure backup to Brunson. In order to see consistent minutes at shooting guard, however, McBride will likely need to do better than the 1-for-9 showing from beyond the arc that he provided Tuesday.

McBride provided 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 132-94 victory over Golden State.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Plays season-high 27 minutes in win
Rotowire
McBride recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 113-89 victory over the Hawks.
McBride was a beneficiary of the blowout win, as he played 19 of his season-high 27 minutes in the second half, including the entire fourth quarter. That being said, he entered the game ahead of Derrick Rose, who didn't play in a coach's decision. At this point, McBride looks as though he'll have a spot on the second unit in the backcourt alongside Immanuel Quickley, leaving Rose on the outside looking in.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Makes two-way impact
Rotowire
McBride averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals in five Summer League games.
McBride displayed not only his passing acumen, but that he can also score efficiently (50.0 percent on field goals). His tenacious defense on top of his offensive production will ensure that he is competing for minutes on a young Knicks team. He will likely be battling with Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes for backcourt minutes off the bench.
