• Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores season-high 36 points

  1H ago • By RotoWire

  Brunson finished with 36 points (14-22 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 128-98 victory over the Pistons. Brunson scored a season-high 36 points, besting his previous mark of 26 which he set against Indiana on Oct. 25. Given the standard he set last season, it hasn't been a perfect start for Brunson and the new-look Knicks, but they were certainly on their game Friday night, albeit against an inferior opponent. Brunson scored at least 30 points 43 times last year, including the postseason.

• Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Sniffs double-double

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Brunson had 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and nine assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 victory over the Heat. Brunson struggled with his shot Wednesday, but he thrived in the playmaking role while Karl-Anthony Towns carried New York's offense with a season-high 44-point effort. Brunson has been slumping with his shot over his last two games, shooting a combined 14-for-42 in that span, but that shouldn't worry fantasy managers. The star guard should bounce back sooner rather than later, although a slight decrease in his scoring figures to allow Towns to become the No. 1 option on offense might be due to happen.

• Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 26 in win over Indiana

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Brunson had 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 123-98 victory over Indiana. Brunson has reached the 20-point mark while shooting over 50 percent from the field in his first two games. The star point guard is making the most of this new offense while also sharing the load with two newcomers, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Brunson isn't expected to shoot this efficiently throughout the entire year. Still, he's undoubtedly enjoying an excellent start to the season while leading the Knicks amid a complicated schedule to start the campaign.
