New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Brunson sat out Wednesday's win over Memphis to manage an ankle injury, but his name hasn't been included on the injury report ahead of Friday's game. With Brunson back on the court, we will see a lot less of Jose Alvarado, Landry Shamet, and Tyler Koler in the Knicks' rotation, especially with Miles McBride (pelvic) also expected to return. Brunson had just 12 points on Tuesday night against Houston, but he had previously impressed with two 30-point efforts in three games. On Friday, he has an ideal fantasy matchup against a defensively weak team that likes to run.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Fantasy managers and Knicks fans don't need to worry as this appears to be a maintenance day. It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Knicks have elected to rest Brunson against a struggling Grizzlies squad. The Knicks' backcourt is going to be extremely thin with Miles McBride (pelvis) also sitting out. That means Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet should all see increased playing time. Out of the trio, Alvarado is the most consistent option to use as a streaming option for Wednesday's slate.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle/neck) is off the injury report and expected to play Friday against the Nets after missing one game due to ankle injury management and a cervical strain. The All-Star has been a strong fantasy anchor when active, averaging 27.8 points, 8.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers, and 1.4 steals over his last five games. His return should push Jose Alvarado back to a reserve role, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges may see slightly reduced playmaking duties. Brunson remains a must-start option during the fantasy playoffs.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He started the day off as questionable, but has been downgraded all the way to out. This is obviously a tough blow to fantasy managers with Brunson's next chance to play not coming until Friday against the Nets. The absence of Brunson should mean increased playing time for Jose Alvarado, Landry Shamet, and possibly Tyler Kolek. Shamet is the best streaming choice among the three guards due to his ability to shoot the three-ball.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) was originally questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Pacers, but the team downgraded him to doubtful early in the day on Tuesday. Brunson played 36 minutes on Sunday night and had 30 points and nine assists against the Warriors, but he'll likely get Tuesday off, leaving more work for Karl-Anthony Towns as the focus of the offense, while OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges could get more usage as Landry Shamet and Jose Calderon fill in at guard in Brunson's spot. The Pacers have been such a favorable matchup that whoever gets playing time against them should be set up for fantasy success on Tuesday.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Brunson produced 29 points and nine assists against the Pacers on Friday night, but he may have to sit out Tuesday's rematch due to ankle and neck injuries. Brunson's absence would create additional playing opportunities for Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet. Additionally, Karl-Anthony Towns will be expected to be much more active on the offensive end. Towns has averaged 28.2 points and 14.0 rebounds in five games without Brunson this season.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns, joined by former Knick Allan Houston, won the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday, outscoring Team Cameron in the final round. The Knicks trio closed with 47 points after posting 31 in the opener to advance. While the exhibition carries no fantasy weight, both stars enter the second half in strong form. Brunson is averaging 26.6 points, 3.0 threes, 4.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes over his last five games, while Towns has posted 19.4 points and 12.4 rebounds in 28.8 minutes. Their usage keeps Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart in complementary roles.

On Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors, McBride excelled in a starting role, shooting 6-for-12 from downtown to finish with 25 points and six assists.

Brunson suffered a right ankle sprain on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings and wasn't available for the second leg of a back-to-back the next day against the Golden State Warriors. Miles McBride filled the gap in the first unit, finishing with 25 points and six assists. Assuming Brunson won't return on Saturday, McBride will continue to have additional fantasy value. That being said, the matchup on Saturday isn't ideal, as Phoenix gives up the sixth-fewest fantasy points to point guards.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will not play Thursday, as expected, after he departed Wednesday's game after just five minutes with an ankle sprain. While Brunson will miss Thursday's game against the Warriors, the good news is that the fantasy stud is considered day-to-day, and he may not be out long-term. As for Thursday, the Knicks will likely lean on Miles McBride, Tyler Kolek, and Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt while Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns could get more work as well. The Knicks also could get back Landry Shamet (shoulder), who is questionable after missing almost two months with a shoulder injury.

Brunson logged only five minutes, finishing with four points. In November, Brunson missed two games with a right ankle sprain, and he was out for nearly a month with the same injury last March. Brunson didn't use a walking boot after the game and reportedly didn't have a noticeable limp, suggesting the Knicks star avoided a serious injury. However, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolak will get an uptick in playing time if Brunson isn't available.

The Knicks' backcourt is also without Miles McBride (ankle) and Landry Shamet (shoulder), giving Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek significant roles in the rotation. With that said, Tuesday's matchup is a tricky one for the duo, as Minnesota typically does a good job limiting the offensive impact of guards.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's contest against the Orlando Magic. There's little worry here about Brunson sitting this one out. The All-NBA guard returned to action on Wednesday in Dallas after a two-game absence and played 34 minutes, right in line with his season-long average. He scored 28 points against the Mavericks, also in line with his scoring average. The reigning Clutch Player of the Year has seen a slight dip in his shooting percentages, but remains one of the league's best guards.

He has done well in the first unit this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, although McBride's shooting numbers have been poor. Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet are also players who benefit from Brunson's absence. The latter has joined McBride in the starting lineup, filling in for OG Anunoby (hamstring).

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss a second consecutive contest on Monday against the Miami Heat. He is considered day-to-day after spraining his right ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. Following Brunson's exit from the lineup, Miles McBride (personal) made his second start of the season on Friday against the Heat. There could be another change in the lineup on Monday night, as McBride is listed as questionable for the game. Landry Shamet or Jordan Clarkson could hop into the first unit.

Brunson will be evaluated daily, so it doesn't look like a serious or long-term issue at this point, but he could miss a few games depending on how he responds to treatment. The Knicks have the weekend off before facing the Heat in Miami on Monday, the Mavs in Dallas on Wednesday, and the Magic in Orlando next Saturday. For as long as Brunson is out, the rest of the Knicks' rotation will get increased usage, with Miles McBride possibly stepping into a big role in the starting lineup. Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby will all be lined up for more scoring responsibility for as long as the team is without their superstar playmaker.

Brunson leads the team with 27.7 points and 6.6 assists per game. If Brunson misses time, Mikal Bridges could be called upon to shoulder the playmaking duties for the team. Bridges currently ranks second on the team with 5.2 assists per game.

He was 2-for-6 with the three-ball while completing his line with two rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block.
