Rotowire
Brunson finished with 38 points (13-25 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 133-127 win over Chicago.
After dropping 11 points on the Bulls in the first quarter, Brunson cooled off. However, he stepped on the gas in the fourth, scoring 14 of his 38 points to lead the Knicks to their second consecutive win after losing three games to begin the 2026-27 campaign. The 30-year-old is now averaging 25.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists across 35.2 minutes per contest in his first five games of the season. Brunson hasn't shot the ball well overall, though his performance Wednesday could have been a sign that he's ready to turn things around.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Puts up 23 in win over Detroit
Rotowire
Brunson posted 23 points (5-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 13-16 FT), a rebound, seven assists and a block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 win over the Pistons.
Brunson endured a difficult shooting performance from beyond the arc and missed all five of his attempts, but he made up for it by converting 13 free throws. His seven assists helped maintain his fantasy value, but all things considered, this was a down performance for the star guard. Brunson's substantial offensive responsibilities provide a reliable scoring foundation, so he's a candidate to bounce sooner rather than later.

Brunson remains the Knicks' primary scoring option despite the team's 0-3 start.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 20 points with three swipes
Rotowire
Brunson registered 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 22 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
Brunson did a nice job of creating contact and getting easy buckets at the line, and he was a pest on the defensive end, regularly disrupting Minnesota's passing lanes. Brunson averaged 26.0 points, 6.8 assists and 2.6 triples per game on 47/37/84 shooting splits, and he should be able to churn out similar numbers as he enters his age-30 season.
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 13 points in preseason defeat
Rotowire
Brunson finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three assists and a steal across 20 minutes in Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards.
Brunson tied Josh Hart and Landry Shamet for the team lead in scoring despite playing just over 20 minutes. Brunson's offensive role and status as one of the Knicks' key players remain set in stone, and his limited preseason workload has given New York's coaching staff a chance to evaluate its reserves with the regular season starting in less than two weeks. Thus, expect Brunson to continue seeing limited playing time in the rest of the preseason.
