Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Decent output despite loss
Jalen Brunson notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to Atlanta.Karl-Anthony Towns led the New York Knicks in scoring in this loss to the Hawks, but Brunson remains a capable offensive weapon who's also been extremely consistent. The star floor general has surpassed the 20-point mark in every one of his seven appearances this season, averaging 25.3 points per contest and shooting 46 percent from the field, as well as 46.3 percent from deep. There will be times when Towns and Brunson will alternate the role of being the top scorer, but Brunson's floor as an elite scoring weapon is not under any threat, even after the moves the Knicks made in the offseason. The first two weeks of the regular season have shown Brunson and Towns can co-exist together perfectly.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores season-high 36 points

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Sniffs double-double
Jalen 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: Pops for 22 in opener
Jalen Brunson racked up 22 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.The point guard tied for the team lead in scoring with Miles McBride, but Brunson's low assist total was a sign the New York Knicks' new-look roster still needs some time to gel. The 28-year-old averaged a career-high 6.7 assists a game in 2023-24 before taking it up another notch with 7.5 a game during the playoffs, and the offseason additions of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns should eventually lead to more distribution opportunities for Brunson.
