Landry Shamet

Tyler Kolek, the Knicks' 34th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has stepped up in the wake of injuries to OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet to help the team to a nice stretch of wins.

After knocking down five three-pointers and scoring 19 points in Wednesday's win over the Hornets, McBride duplicated that performance two nights later. A starter in each of the Knicks' last three games, Deuce has hit double figures in four of his last five. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least four weeks and OG Anunoby (hamstring) also out, McBride may be locked into the starting lineup for long enough to merit being streamed until the latter returns. The Knicks end Week 6 with a home game against the Raptors on Sunday.

Making a second consecutive start, McBride had one of his best performances of the season in Charlotte. He shot 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, with the 19 points being six shy of his season-high. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) out for at least a month, McBride will be a key figure for the Knicks, whether he starts or comes off the bench. From a fantasy standpoint, he's more valuable as a starter than as a reserve.

Knicks guard Landry Shamet, who left last Saturday's loss to the Orlando Magic early, has been diagnosed with a shoulder sprain and will be reevaluated after four weeks.

Shamet sustained the injury in Saturday's loss to Orlando, and he'll be out through at least late December. Shamet's play time and production were trending up prior to his injury, and his absence will free up additional playing time for Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson.
