A questionable tag for Friday's matchup indicates the Knicks are still monitoring Towns' knee ailment, although he should have a chance to play. Towns has been among the NBA's top big men this season, averaging 25.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists on 55/45/83 shooting splits over 35 appearances.

McBride has missed the Knicks' last five games due to his hamstring strain. The fourth-year guard had continued his ascension as a critical bench piece before suffering the injury, averaging 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game on 43/40/80 shooting splits. He was listed as questionable for Wednesday's win over Toronto before being ruled out.

Another questionable tag gives McBride a chance to suit up for the first time in over a week in a marquee matchup against Oklahoma City.

The Knicks will be looking for revenge against the Thunder one week after suffering a 117-107 loss at Paycom Center. New York's win on Wednesday snapped a three-game losing streak. Tom Thibodeau's squad had won nine straight before the recent skid. They rank third in the Eastern Conference at 25-13 entering Friday's game.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City suffered its first loss in three weeks, 129-122, to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Mark Daigneault's squad had won 10 straight before the defeat. The Thunder hold the league's second-best record at 30-6 and rank first in net rating (11.6).
