NYK • Point Guard and Shooting Guard • #11

Brunson and the Knicks had a rough night, with things getting especially bad during the third quarter. As a team, New York scored 11 points, and Brunson shot 0-of-5 from the field while scoring just one point. While he’s shot 44.3 percent from the field over the past week, Brunson’s fantasy value has taken a hit, regardless of league format. The Knicks play two more games in Week 18, starting with the Bucks on Friday.

Brunson didn’t score much in Chicago, but he did dish out 9 assists. The last was on a Mikal Bridges three-pointer with 26.6 seconds remaining that extended New York’s lead to six. Brunson, who made one of his six three-point attempts, didn’t shoot the ball efficiently, but he was good at making plays for others. The Knicks begin a three-game Week 18 on Tuesday against Cleveland in what will be a vital game for tiebreaker purposes.

The Rockets did an excellent job of keeping Brunson under wraps for the first three quarters, with the Knicks point guard shooting 2-of-8 from the field. Brunson came to life in the fourth, making all four of his shots to help New York erase a deficit that grew to as large as 18 points. He also added three more charges drawn to his league-high tally, showing off his skill as a “below-the-rim rim protector.” Brunson and the Knicks play once more in Week 17, as they visit the Bulls on Sunday.

While Brunson shot the ball far better on Thursday than he did in either of the Knicks’ first two losses to the Pistons, that doesn’t tell the entire story. The efficient scoring wasn’t matched in the playmaking department, as Brunson was responsible for six of the Knicks’ 12 turnovers. While the Knicks won’t have to see the Pistons again during the regular season, how they lost the three meetings is a concern should the teams meet in the playoffs.

Brunson finished Tuesday with his second 40-point game in four outings and fourth of the season, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a disappointing overtime defeat. The Knicks point guard shot 4-of-14 from beyond the arc, putting a dent in his overall field-goal percentage. Brunson and the Knicks will look to go into the All-Star break on a high note when they visit the 76ers on Wednesday.

Coming off of his worst performance of the season in Friday’s 38-point loss to the Pistons, Brunson showed up in Boston seemingly intent on redeeming himself. The Knicks’ guard did so, recording 15 points and four assists in the first quarter alone and finishing with a game-high 31 points. And after shooting 0-of-8 from three in Detroit, Brunson made four of his eight attempts on Sunday. The Knicks play five games in Week 17, two of which are scheduled for before the All-Star break.

Brunson had a brutal night in Detroit. Finding room to get his shots proved extremely difficult with OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns unavailable, as the Pistons devoted even more of their defensive attention to the point guard. Brunson missed all eight of his three-point attempts and did not play at all during the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers will hope to get a better effort from Brunson on Sunday against the Celtics.

Brunson came up big when the Knicks needed him most, shooting 5-of-7 from the field in the two overtime periods. The All-Star Game starter finished with his third 40-point game of the season and first since a December 21 win over the Heat. The good news for fantasy managers is that Brunson and the Knicks play twice more during Week 16, but the matchups won’t be easy. New York, which has won eight straight, visits Detroit on Friday and Boston on Sunday.

Brunson made just one of his six three-point attempts on the night, but that’s the only complaint for fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, he’s shot 42.6 percent from the field, which has lowered the Knicks’ point guard’s fantasy value. That said, the overall productivity remains excellent. Brunson and the Knicks play three more games in Week 16, starting with the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Brunson didn’t shoot the ball well, but he didn’t let that stop him from stepping up in other areas. The 13 assists were a season high, and he was also effective on the glass. Over the past two weeks, Brunson has shot 41.5 percent from the field. However, his value has not taken a significant hit, with the guard still offering top-50 per-game value. Brunson will look to put up a few more points when the Knicks open a four-game Week 16 on Tuesday against the Wizards.

The Knicks appear to be done messing around. New York has now won five games in a row since a 2-7 stretch. Brunson continues to lead the way and is so consistently good it’s almost boring. The 29-year-old point guard has scored at least 20 points in 11-of-13 games in January. He’s provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Knicks close out the week with a matchup against the Lakers on Sunday.

Brunson is going to give it a go after getting through his individual pregame workout. With the Knicks playing their second game in as many nights and Miles McBride out, look for Tyler Kolek to play rotation minutes. However, he isn’t worth streaming here.

Brunson is a late addition to the Knicks’ injury report, a development that, generally speaking, does not bode well for a player’s availability. With Miles McBride already out, Tyler Kolek could move into the starting lineup instead of merely rejoining the rotation.

The Knicks have quietly won three games in a row now after a 2-9 stretch. The Kings cut the Knicks’ lead to five with less than four minutes left in regulation before Brunson scored seven consecutive points to put the game on ice for New York. The 29-year-old point guard has scored 59 points over the last two games after scoring just 46 points in the three games before that. The Knicks will take on the Raptors Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back.

After dropping their first two meetings with the 76ers, both at home, the Knicks picked up a vital victory on Saturday. Brunson led the way offensively, recording his 18th 30-point game of the season. His fantasy value has taken a hit recently, with his decreased scoring the culprit. Brunson doesn’t bring much value in the defensive categories, making offensive production that much more important in category leagues.

Wednesday went as well as it could have for Brunson and the Knicks, who entered their game with the Nets 2-9 in their last 11 games. The Knicks set a franchise record for margin of victory (54 points), and Brunson didn’t have to over-exert himself. Of course, fantasy managers would have hoped for a more competitive game, as the point guard may have logged more than 31 minutes. Saturday’s game against the 76ers stands to be far more competitive.

As bad as the Knicks’ January 5 loss to the Pistons was, Monday’s performance may have been worse. They couldn’t string together stops against a depleted Mavericks team and also struggled to make shots. Brunson’s points and assists were solid, but he shot the ball poorly in a game the Knicks were never really in. The Knicks will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host the Nets.

The Knicks will have their preferred starting lineup back for this game. Brunson is back after a two-game absence, while Hart is back after missing their last game. Miles McBride and Mohamed Diawara will return to playing roles off the bench.

After a two-game absence, Brunson is back in the Knicks’ lineup. His return will push Miles McBride to the bench. While his fantasy ceiling will be lower, McBride is worth holding onto due to his consistent production in recent games.

Brunson has missed New York’s last two games with a sprained right ankle. Miles McBride has been productive as Brunson’s replacement in the starting lineup, but the Knicks lost both games. McBride is worth holding onto in deep leagues, even if Brunson is available.

Brunson will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. His continued absence means that Miles McBride remains in the starting lineup, and Deuce is worth streaming until Brunson returns.

Brunson did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors after spraining his right ankle the night prior in Sacramento. Miles McBride scored 25 points and dished out six assists as the starting point guard, and he would be worth rostering if Brunson has to miss another game. For those who already have Deuce, he may be worth holding onto if the Knicks’ captain returns, given the team’s need for consistent bench production.

No surprise here, as Brunson rolled his right ankle five minutes into Wednesday’s loss to the Kings. Tyler Kolek is the most likely option to move into the starting lineup, but Miles McBride is the superior streaming option.

Brunson injured his right ankle during the first quarter and returned to the locker room after exiting the game. He has since been ruled out for the rest of the night, with Tyler Kolek starting the third quarter. With the Knicks visiting the Warriors on Thursday, fantasy managers should anticipate seeing a lot of Kolek and Miles McBride.

It’s been over a month since Brunson last failed to score at least 20 points in a game, with that last occurring on December 2 in a loss to the Celtics. All five Knicks starters scored in double figures, and that balance likely helped Brunson. He shot over 50 percent from the field and committed just two turnovers. The Knicks play three games in Week 13, starting with the Kings on Wednesday.

Brunson and the Knicks have lost five of their last six, and he has just one 30-point game during this stretch. While his percentages against the Suns were good, the point guard finished with one less turnover (four) than assists (five). Over the past two weeks, he has offered fourth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. While that doesn’t align with Brunson’s Yahoo! ADP, his drop has not been as sharp as a few other Knicks during this 1-5 stretch.

After arguably his most inefficient game of the season in Monday’s blowout loss to the Pistons, Brunson bounced back nicely against the Clippers. In addition to shooting 75 percent from the field, the Knicks’ guard committed just two turnovers. All five starters attempted at least ten shots, and Brunson still led the way in scoring. Wednesday’s effort was the blueprint that the Knicks need to follow, even if that leads to a slight decrease in Brunson’s scoring output.

Brunson got his 25 points by being aggressive with 21 shot attempts. The 29-year-old struggled to set up his teammates in the disastrous 31-point loss in Detroit, though. Brunson had zero assists and six turnovers against a swarming Pistons defense, which can crush his value in certain formats. The Knicks will be at home for an easier matchup against the Clippers on Wednesday.

While he was more efficient on Saturday than in Friday’s loss to the Hawks, Brunson did not have an easy time getting his points against VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey. Over the past two weeks, the point guard has offered third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-25. Another challenging matchup awaits Brunson and the Knicks, as they open a four-game Week 12 in Detroit on Monday.

Brunson led all scorers with 24 points, but he needed 24 shots to get it done. The Knicks’ guard was 1-of-10 from beyond the arc, with New York shooting 9-of-44 as a team. While the Hawks deserve credit for their defensive effort, Friday was a reminder of Karl-Anthony Towns’ importance, as he was out due to illness. Brunson and the Knicks will look to bounce back when they host the 76ers on Saturday.
