New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 40 points in Sunday's overtime win over the Chicago Bulls. He added eight boards and seven assists. The 27-year-old had a solid end to the 2023-24 campaign, amassing at least 40 points in three of the Knicks' last five regular-season contests. While it still isn't enough to get Brunson an MVP award, his efforts at least landed the Knicks the No. 2 seed entering the postseason. His recent uptick in production since the All-Star break will presumably make him a top-10 fantasy option for next season. It could go even higher if New York at least makes it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Steve Popper of Newsday has "heard whispers that New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson would be open to discussions to do [an extension] this summer." Brunson signed a four-year, $104 million contract with New York back during the 2022 offseason, and the Knicks could look to lock up the 27-year-old All-Star floor general on another long-term deal ahead of his 2025-26 player option. Brunson has put the team on his back during his second season in the Big Apple, most recently averaging 33.0 points, 7.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 2.8 three-pointers across his latest 14 appearances. Next up for the superstar playmaker is a rigid draw against the Chicago Bulls, who allow the second-fewest FanDuel points to opposing point guards. If lockdown defender Alex Caruso (ankle) ends up missing a second straight game, however, it would be a major boon to Brunson's matchup outlook.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) will play on Friday against the Bulls. He has a sore right foot, something that's bothered him throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But the Knicks need him out there if the team hopes to gain ground in the Eastern Conference moving toward the postseason. With that in mind, Brunson amassed 31 points and 13 assists the last time these clubs met, meaning he's an ideal DFS option.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) will return to action in Friday's matchup against Orlando. The first-year All-Star ended up sitting out only one game with a left knee contusion. Brunson's return pushes Miles McBride back to the bench. The 23-year-old has struggled to get meaningful minutes as a member of the second unit and won't have much fantasy value. The Knicks star makes his return in a juicy spot, as the Magic will be without their best backcourt defender Jalen Suggs (thigh), which puts Brunson in a good position to go off for a big night.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (knee) participated in most of practice on Thursday, per head coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau said he doesn't know what the Knicks will list Brunson as on the upcoming injury report for Friday's matchup versus the Orlando Magic. New York will officially provide the All-Star guard's designation later on Thursday, but he should be considered questionable at this juncture. In five appearances without Brunson this year, Miles McBride is offering 16.2 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.0 triples per game and would likely remain in the starting backcourt if Brunson remains out for a second straight game on Friday.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) will sit out Tuesday's clash with Atlanta. He's been downgraded from questionable to out due to a left knee contusion sustained in the previous game against Cleveland. Miles McBride is looking at a fresh opportunity to start, while Shake Milton is ready for his Knicks debut after he was snapped up following a buyout agreement with the Pistons. McBride has averaged 17.5 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in four games without Brunson this season.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta. The Knicks star hurt his left knee at the weekend against Cleveland, but Brunson luckily avoided serious injury, and it looks like he has a chance to play on Tuesday. However, if he isn't good to go, Miles McBride will likely become a popular pickup among fantasy managers. He put in a huge 47-minute shift after Brunson left on Sunday versus Cleveland and has already filled in for him in the starting unit a few times. The West Virginia product has averaged 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals as a starter. He should have no issues racking up the stats against a Hawks squad that shares the league's worst defensive efficiency with Washington.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride logged a season-high 47 minutes in Sunday's 107-98 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, collecting 16 points on 6-for-15 shooting, five assists, four three-pointers, and one rebound. Thrust into a ridiculous workload with Jalen Brunson (knee) hobbling off the court early, McBride came off the bench and didn't sit for the remainder of the contest following the All-Star's injury. Over McBride's four showings without Brunson in New York's lineup this season, the 23-year-old spot-up shooter is averaging 17.5 points, 4.8 dimes, 4.3 boards, 3.0 treys, and 1.5 steals in 42.2 minutes. With Brunson questionable at best for Tuesday's matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks, McBride is well worth a speculative add off fantasy waiver wires. The Hawks give up the second-most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, and they are tied for the worst defensive efficiency rating (117.6).

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (knee) was injured in Sunday night's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Playing less than one minute, the former Villanova Wildcat exited with what appeared to be a severe left knee injury. However, it seems the Knicks dodged a bullet, with head coach Tom Thibodeau reporting that X-rays were negative. Even more promising, Thibodeau added that Brunson has a knee contusion, which is certainly fantastic news. The 27-year-old has had the best season of his career in 2023-24, averaging 27.7 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.8 rebounds. The Knicks don't play again until Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. But based on the update from Thibs, Brunson could be out there. On the other hand, the Knicks need him healthy if the team hopes to advance deep into the postseason, so he could miss a game or two until he's fully healthy. If that's the case, Miles McBride, scoring 16 points on Sunday evening, would make a fine addition to most fantasy rosters.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (leg) suffered an apparent non-contact injury to his leg in the opening minutes of their Sunday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Based on the replays, it looked to be a knee injury, which would make the non-contact part of it even scarier if that's the case. The injury took place in the first minutes of the game and he hasn't returned to the game since. He tried putting weight on his leg to walk back to the locker room but had to be helped off by teammates. Further updates will likely come out after the team can take some X-rays and an MRI, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned. In the meantime, Miles McBride and Donte DiVincenzo will likely see a lot of the point guard duties.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (neck) will warm up with the intention to play Thursday against Golden State. The first-year All-Star missed Tuesday's encounter with New Orleans but looks ready to make a quick return. Brunson's comeback would push Miles McBride back to the bench, where he will have minimal fantasy value. Brunson has gone for 30 points in back-to-back appearances, but Thursday's matchup could be a tricky one for him, as the Warriors have limited points guards to 23.8 points per 48 minutes.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) is officially listed as questionable for the Knicks' game Thursday against the Warriors. The 27-year-old missed Tuesday's game after sustaining some hard hits during Monday's matchup against the Pistons. Despite waking up with neck spasms and sitting out the second night of a back-to-back, Brunson appears to have a solid chance of returning to action. However, if he is unable to play, Miles McBride is expected to continue starting, with Alec Burks likely seeing increased minutes off the bench. Brunson boasts impressive season averages of 27.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in 36.0 minutes per game.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Tuesday and will not face the New Orleans Pelicans. The star point guard is dealing with cervical spasms in his neck and they seem to be too severe to allow him to take the court. Head coach Tom Thibodeau was the one to tell the media that Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) are both out. It's unclear who will be moving up to starting point guard, but Miles McBride and Alec Burks will both get added minutes in the backcourt. Donte DiVincenzo will likely receive a lot of the ball handling duties with the starting five as well. DiVincenzo and Burks would be the better streaming options in this case.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Brunson is listed with neck cervical spasms, threatening his status on the second night of New York's back-to-back. The All-Star guard will likely be a game-time decision based on pregame warmups, and if he can't go, Donte DiVincenzo would be set to start at point guard against a Pels group allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) was available for Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. After the All-Star tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, he didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Dallas Mavericks. But he was back in the lineup for the meeting with Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers. While New York couldn't pull off a win, Brunson picked up right where he left off before going down with the ailment, finishing with a game-high 39 points. He struggled from deep, going 1-for-5, although he made all 10 tries from the charity stripe. The 27-year-old continues to get it done for fantasy managers, and he's now averaging 34.3 points in February. Barring any issues with the ankle, Brunson should be in the lineup for Monday's clash with the Houston Rockets.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Indiana. The first-year All-Star continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that kept him off the court Thursday versus Dallas. Miles McBride had the keys to the offense without Brunson. He put in a massive 45-minute shift and provided good two-way value with 21 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Racking up stats against a pacy Indiana side shouldn't be a problem for him either on Saturday.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. He's having an All-Star year and has been instrumental to the Knicks' success while Julius Randle (shoulder) remains out of the lineup. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle late in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, although he still finished just shy of a double-double. If Brunson can't see the floor versus Dallas, Donte DiVincenzo, coming off a 32-point showing, will be a lock for DFS participants. Miles McBride would be the favorite to take over the ball-handling duties without Brunson, so he'll be worth considering as a streaming option.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) had another stellar outing. During Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the All-Star finished with 27 points, shooting 11-for-21 from the field, adding eight assists and three steals. However, he injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter, although he managed to walk off the floor. With this in mind, there's a realistic chance he won't play on Thursday night versus the Dallas Mavericks. If Brunson doesn't, it will be a tough blow for fantasy managers, considering he's averaged 38 points in the last three games. Expect Brunson to appear on the injury report heading into Thursday. If the 27-year-old is ruled out, Miles McBride would likely slide into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in any fantasy setup. Of course, Donte DiVincenzo would be the favorite to lead the way on the scoring end.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's action against Houston. He suffered a left calf contusion last week and has been out for two games. It's not a serious issue, and Brunson even went through the warmups ahead of Monday's matchup against Orlando before sitting out the contest, so it looks like there's a strong chance he returns on Wednesday. Miles McBride has produced a pair of strong performances as Brunson's fill-in in the starting unit, but he's set to land back on the bench, which will rob him of most of his fantasy value.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game on Monday, as the team has listed him questionable for a tilt against Orlando. Following a run of three 30-point efforts in five outings, Brunson was forced to skip his first game of the season on Saturday versus Memphis. Miles McBride had a good game in his absence and could be looking at another start on Monday. He showcased an ability to help out fantasy managers in multiple areas at the weekend, posting 19 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block.
