New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The former Maverick has seen a dip in production this season. However, he's still having an All-Star-caliber year, averaging 24.5 points, 7.7 assists, and 41.8% shooting from behind the arc. Brunson is one of the most durable players in the National Basketball Association, so it would be surprising if he didn't play. But if he's not out there, Cameron Payne and Miles McBride should both see an uptick in fantasy production, with Karl-Anthony Towns expected to lead the way offensively.
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (back) will remain in the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He was initially regarded as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the shelf, Brunson is looking at extra offensive duties on Saturday. However, with the Pistons allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards, it might not be a very good night for Brunson, especially if he's not at 100 percent.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. The former Maverick is coming off one of his best showings of the 2024-25 campaign, amassing 24 points and shooting 5-for-6 from behind the arc. But if the back contusion keeps him off the floor on Saturday night, Miles McBride will likely slide into the starting lineup and would be in line for a significant uptick in fantasy production, even more so if Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) doesn't suit up.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with a lower back contusion and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, but his potential absence could open up opportunities for Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek. Brunson has been instrumental for New York, averaging 33.8 minutes and over 25 points per game. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on his availability closer to game time.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. However, it didn't keep Brunson off the floor for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls, with the 28-year-old finishing with 24 points, eight assists, and three boards. Barring a setback, Brunson should be out there and will remain a must-start in all fantasy formats.
