Despite the Knicks securing the third seed in the East on Friday, McBride played 30 minutes as Josh Hart’s replacement in the starting lineup in Brooklyn. He had a good afternoon for fantasy managers in active leagues, providing solid value in points, rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers. McBride’s role will be different when the playoffs begin next weekend, but his scoring ability will be critical off the bench.

The Knicks rested four starters for Sunday’s game, including Jalen Brunson, so Payne was in the starting lineup. As is usually the case for the veteran backup, it was an adventure, but he made big plays on both ends of the court down the stretch to get New York its 51st win. Payne will return to the bench for the playoffs, which the Knicks will begin on Saturday or Sunday when the Pistons visit for Game 1.

With Mikal Bridges checking out six seconds into Sunday’s game, Shamet became a primary scoring option on Sunday. He made the most of his opportunity, shooting 7-of-13 from three and recording a season-high point total. Shamet shot 14-of-27 from three in his final three games of the season. While the Knicks did not have much on the line, the recent run could ensure that Shamet plays rotation minutes during the first-round series against Detroit. Game 1 will be on Saturday or Sunday.

The Knicks secured the third seed in the East before Sunday’s game, so there isn’t anything on the line besides Bridges’s games-played streak. He logged six seconds before intentionally fouling a Nets player, with Landry Shamet replacing him in the lineup. Bridges, whose NBA games-played streak is 556, has not missed a game since high school. He’ll be ready for the Knicks’ first-round matchup with the Pistons next weekend.

As expected, Young has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday’s 7/8 Play-In tournament matchup. He’ll occupy his usual role within the Hawks’ starting lineup. The winner of Tuesday’s game will face Boston in the first round, with Game 1 scheduled for Sunday. The loser will host the winner of Wednesday’s matchup between Miami and Chicago on Friday for the eighth seed in the East.

Phoenix’s disappointing 2024-25 season ended with a loss to Sacramento on Sunday, and head coach Mike Budenholzer was fired the following day. Booker may be the only “safe” player on the roster in what should be a busy summer for the franchise. He’s eligible to sign an extension worth $ 149.8 million over two seasons, and according to Windhorst, the Suns intend to offer their star guard that deal. With Phoenix not having control of its first-round pick for the rest of the decade, they’ll likely have to part with Kevin Durant or Bradley Beal (or both) to change the roster’s makeup significantly.

Larsson is looking to return from a three-game layoff while Jovic hasn’t played since February. The Heat could need to rely on Haywood Highsmith, Kyle Anderson, and Jaime Jaquez off the bench if Larsson and Jovic are ruled out.
