Jalen Brunson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City after missing his first game of the season on Wednesday against the Jazz. The Knicks still managed to win their ninth straight with Cameron Payne stepping in for Brunson and Miles McBride (hamstring), who was expected to start in Brunson's place but was also ruled out and is questionable for Friday. If Brunson plays, he's a great option in every format since he's averaging 25.2 points, 7.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.8 steals per game while leading the Knicks with a 30.0% usage rate. If Brunson misses a second straight game, McBride would be a great DFS pivot if available, but if he's sidelined as well, Payne could be in line for another big night as a DFS value.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Wednesday's matchup against the visiting Jazz.

Brunson just cooked the Wizards for 55 points on Saturday and should be in line for another productive outing, as Washington sits among the NBA's worst defensive teams and has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing points guards in 2024-25.

The veteran carried the same designation heading into Saturday's game against the Wizards, the first of back-to-back contests between the clubs. However, it didn't stop him from finishing with 55 points. With that said, there's a good chance Brunson will be on the floor versus arguably the worst team in the National Basketball Association. But if he's not, Miles McBride and Cameron Payne could benefit on the scoring end.

However, the former Maverick will warm up, with a decision to be made shortly after regarding his availability. If Brunson is not on the floor, Cameron Payne and Miles McBride could be in line for added production. Yet, if he's available, he's a must-start against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
