Jalen Brunson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Brunson is one of six players ruled out for the Knicks to close the regular season. Jose Alvarado and Miles McBride will be among the players to see more run for the Knicks.

Brunson has recorded double-doubles in three straight games, and Thursday's win over the Celtics was another — 25 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 assists, two three-pointers, and one rebound.

Fantasy Impact

Over that three-game stretch he's accumulated 34 assists with just six turnovers, which is the kind of playmaking efficiency that makes him one of the most dangerous point guards in the league heading into the postseason.

Jalen Brunson put up 30 points (11-26 FG, 3-8 3PT, 5-7 FT) and dished out 13 assists in Monday's win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

Brunson did not have the most efficient of shooting efforts in this one, but he led the way to a dramatic win for the Knicks nonetheless. The three-time All-Star missed a game at Memphis last week, but he has come back with a pair of double-doubles, totaling 47 points and 23 assists over the last two games.

Jalen Brunson posted a double-double for the Knicks Friday night, dishing out 10 assists and chipping in 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3PT, 4-4 FT) while also grabbing one rebound in a 136-96 win over the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Brunson continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, dishing out seven or more assists and scoring 12 or more points in each of his last five games. The guard continues to reward head coach Mike Brown with an impactful option as the catalyst on offense for a versatile New York starting five, averaging 26.0 points and 6.7 assists per game while posting a usage rate of 29.5% so far this season.

Jalen Brunson is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Brunson will return from a one-game absence. Jose Alvarado will return to his reserve role.
