Brunson scores 25, late basket lifts Knicks over Magic

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • Associated Press

Continues solid scoring run Brunson closed with 21 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Brunson wasn't very efficient with his shot, but he still found a way to reach the 20-point mark for a fifth straight contest. Even though Julius Randle has been New York's most consistent player this season, Brunson deserves praise for his role as a steady offensive threat in the backcourt. The lefty point guard is averaging 29.0 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and a combined 1.2 steals/blocks per game since the start of January (17 games).

Brunson leads New York against Philadelphia after 41-point performance

New York hosts the Philadelphia 76ers after Jalen Brunson scored 41 points in the New York Knicks' 134-128 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Leads all scorers in return Brunson closed Saturday's 134-128 overtime loss to the Clippers with 41 points (14-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 38 minutes.

Impact Brunson returned from a one-game absence, scoring a game-high 41 points. While he was unable to will the Knicks to victory, he certainly left it all on the floor. He has been the 17th-ranked fantasy player over the past two weeks, exceeding his lofty preseason expectations. It would appear he is fully recovered from his recent illness, and managers should be confident rolling him out moving forward.

Questionable for Saturday Brunson (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers on the NBA's official injury report.

Impact Brunson appeared on the injury report as a late scratch prior to Thursday's game against the Heat due to the bug, and it seems he's not completely over it yet. The team should supply more information on the starting point guard's status ahead of the opening tip Saturday, with Immanuel Quickley, Miles McBride and Evan Fournier seemingly candidates to log more minutes if Brunson can't play again.
