Brunson notched 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, one rebound and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 119-102 win over the Wizards.
Brunson delivered an inefficient performance but was still one of four Knicks players to score 15-plus points. The star point guard also dished out a game- and season-high nine assists, finishing one assist shy of his total over the team's previous two games. After another lackluster night from beyond the arc, Brunson is now shooting 32.1 percent from three-point range through seven regular-season games.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: 36 points not enough
Rotowire
Brunson recorded 36 points (14-25 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
Brunson continued his strong start to the season, scoring at least 30 points for the third straight game. While the production was certainly more than adequate, the bigger talking point came late in the game when he appeared to hurt his groin. The incident happened whilst being defended by Giannis Antetokounmpo, causing the Knicks to call a timeout. He was able to play out the game, but this is definitely a situation to monitor moving forward.

Brunson tallied 31 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five assists and three rebounds over 35 minutes during the Knicks' 105-95 win over the Celtics on Friday.
Brunson was inefficient from the field during Opening Night against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but the All-Star point guard bounced back nicely with a game-high 31 points Friday while connecting on 50.0 percent of his field-goal attempts. Brunson will continue to operate as the focal point of the Knicks' offense and will look to improve on his numbers from the 2024-25 regular season, when he averaged 26.0 points and 7.3 assists over 35.4 minutes per game while shooting 48.8 percent from the field.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Inefficient from field in opener
Rotowire
Brunson closed with 23 points (5-18 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 12-13 FT), five assists and four rebounds in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over Cleveland.
Brunson wasn't at his sharpest Wednesday, shooting just 27.8 percent from the field and 11.1 percent from beyond the arc, though steady work at the free-throw line helped him reach 23 points. Even with plenty of capable scorers around him, the 29-year-old remains the driving force of the New York offense and can still find ways to produce when his jumper isn't falling. Last season, the star guard averaged 26.0 points, 7.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three over 65 regular-season games.

The superstar guard shot just 25 percent from the field and was unable to connect on any of his three-point attempts. Considering he played only limited minutes, this likely won't be a concern for New York moving forward.

Brunson couldn't carry the Knicks into what would've been a decisive Game 7 at Madison Square Garden, and the star floor general was unable to leave his mark on offense in the loss Saturday. The Pacers did a good job of limiting his influence, reflected in his shooting line. Brunson surpassed the 30-point mark in four of six games in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he couldn't deliver when it mattered the most. He finished the playoffs with averages of 29.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in 18 postseason contests. Brunson earned All-NBA Second Team honors and was named Clutch Player of the Year, finishing the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 26.0 points, 7.3 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers and 0.9 steals across 35.4 minutes per game in 65 regular-season appearances.

Brunson generated 43 points (15-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five assists and one rebound over 38 minutes of Wednesday's 138-135 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Brunson got to his spots at will Wednesday, doing nearly all of his damage inside the arc. He picked up his fifth foul with 10 minutes left in regulation, forcing him to the sidelines for nearly half of the fourth quarter. Still, Brunson was on the floor for the final five minutes of the frame as Indiana came back from a 15-point deficit. The 28-year-old point guard provided six of New York's 10 points in overtime, but his potential game-tying three-pointer in the final seconds went long, resulting in the loss. The performance marked Brunson's fifth 40-point game of the season and his second of the playoffs.

Brunson provided plenty of offensive firepower for his squad in Monday's Game 4, leading the team in both points and assists to help New York take a commanding 3-1 series lead. This marks Brunson's best scoring performance of the second round, though he fell just one point shy of his 40-point outburst in Game 6 of the opening round against Detroit.

Brunson couldn't find any rhythm on the offensive end, putting forth easily his worst game of the series.
