Jalen Brunson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
