Brunson notched 28 points (12-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 126-118 loss to the Clippers.
Brunson had a solid outing and helped mount a few rallies in the second half, but it ultimately wasn't enough to upend the Clippers on the road. The stop in Los Angeles hasn't gone according to plan, as Brunson's 24-point outing wasn't enough to generate a victory against the Lakers on Sunday. The team will continue the grueling five-game road set Wednesday against the Jazz, and it's reasonable to expect continued strong totals from one of the league's elite point guards.

After scoring a combined 25 points over the prior two games, Brunson returned to his usual level of offense, although he did see his streak of three straight games with double-digit assists come to an end. In 10 games since the All-Star break, the 29-year-old point guard is averaging 21.8 points, 8.4 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.3 threes.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Brunson recorded 16 points (5-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Thunder.
Brunson had a tough time finding the bottom of the net with Cason Wallace draped all over him for most of the night, but he still shined as a playmaker and knocked down some big shots late to keep it close. The Knicks had a chance to tie it in the final seconds of regulation, but Brunson's three-pointer was just off the mark, and OG Anunoby's last-second heave also clanked off the rim. The Knicks haven't beaten the Thunder at Madison Square Garden since 2017.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Headed to locker room
Rotowire
Brunson limped back to the locker room during Wednesday's game with an apparent leg injury, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Brunson may have taken some damage attempting to draw a charge, and for now, he should be considered questionable to return. If Brunson needs to miss time, that would open up minutes for Jose Alvarado.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Sets tone in first quarter
Rotowire
Brunson posted 27 points (11-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during the Knicks' 127-98 win over the Bucks on Friday.
Brunson got off to a sizzling start with 22 points in the first quarter, and while he was limited to just five points over the next two quarters, he sat for the entire final frame with the Knicks holding onto a commanding lead. His first-quarter outburst was the second-most points scored in the first frame by a Knicks player in franchise history, falling one point shy from his own mark that he set Jan. 12, 2025 against Milwaukee. Brunson will wrap up the month of February having averaged 23.8 points, 6.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 2.4 threes and 0.8 steals over 35.6 minutes per game.

The star guard led all players in scoring and finished second on the Knicks in assists behind Josh Hart (11).

It was a vintage performance out of Brunson on Wednesday, with the All-Star guard coming alive with 15 third-quarter points before scoring 10 points in the second OT frame to propel the Knicks to a tough victory. It was his third game of 40-plus points this season and the first time he scored at least 30 points since Jan. 24 against the 76ers. Things won't get easier for Brunson and the Knicks as they hit the road to face the East-leading Pistons on Friday.

Brunson logged his lowest scoring total of the season in a full game on inefficient shooting, but he still made his presence felt elsewhere by handing out a season-high 13 assists and tying a season best with seven rebounds. While January was a bit quieter by the star guard's lofty standards -- 23.3 points, 4.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds across 13 appearances -- the 29-year-old remains the clear engine of the Knicks and a high-level performer.

As a team, the Knicks locked in defensively during the third quarter and held Toronto to just 19 points while New York dropped in 35. It all culminated in a 27-point victory for the Knicks, and this was their 11th straight win over the Raptors.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Good to go Wednesday
Rotowire
Brunson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Rotowire
Brunson tallied 31 points (11-24 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six assists and five rebounds over 38 minutes during the Knicks' 112-109 win over the 76ers on Saturday.
Brunson was particularly effective from three-point range during Saturday's win, tying a season high with six three-pointers while leading the Knicks in scoring, though he scored just one point during the fourth quarter.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 20 in blowout
Rotowire
Brunson generated 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes of Wednesday's 120-66 win over Brooklyn.
The Knicks dominated Wednesday's game, allowing head coach Mike Brown to go deep into the bench and limit the minutes of his starters. Brunson's 31 minutes were a team high, but it was also tied for his third-fewest minutes in a game that he didn't get injured in. Brunson has now played two games since a brief absence due to an ankle injury, and he's averaging 21 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting 41.5 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from three-point land.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Off shooting game in return
Rotowire
Brunson (ankle) posted 22 points (9-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and six assists across 34 minutes Monday in the Knicks' 114-97 loss to the Mavericks.
Brunson was back in action and operated with no playing-time restriction in his return from a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, which he suffered in the first quarter of last Wednesday's loss to Sacramento. The star point guard's presence wasn't enough for the Knicks to avoid a fourth straight loss, however, as Brunson connected on just 37.5 percent of his attempts from the field. Brunson has essentially provided fantasy managers with what they should have expected on draft day, as he's missed only five of the Knicks' first 43 games and has provided across-the-board averages and percentages that are mostly in line with his marks from the prior two seasons.
