Brunson still adjusting to Towns and Bridges as Knicks' slow start continues The captain said he needs to be better individually and needs to make sure the team is ready each night.
Decent output despite loss Brunson notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks in scoring in this loss to the Hawks, but Brunson remains a capable offensive weapon who's also been extremely consistent. The star floor general has surpassed the 20-point mark in every one of his seven appearances this season, averaging 25.3 points per contest and shooting 46 percent from the field, as well as 46.3 percent from deep. There will be times when Towns and Brunson will alternate the role of being the top scorer, but Brunson's floor as an elite scoring weapon is not under any threat even after the moves the Knicks made in the offseason. The first two weeks of the regular season have shown Brunson and Towns can co-exist together perfectly.

Leads all scorers in loss Brunson logged 29 points (9-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and one steal across 42 minutes during Monday's 109-97 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Brunson scored a game-high 29 points, though he struggled from the field in the loss. The star point guard remains a consistent scorer while reaching the 20-plus mark in points in all six regular-season outings. However, Brunson has struggled from inside of the arc, and he has shot 46.3 percent from the field despite shooting 50.0 percent from deep and averaging 5.0 attempts per game.

Scores season-high 36 points Brunson finished with 36 points (14-22 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 128-98 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Brunson scored a season-high 36 points, besting his previous mark of 26 which he set against Indiana on Oct. 25. Given the standard he set last season, it hasn't been a perfect start for Brunson and the new-look Knicks, but they were certainly on their game Friday night. Brunson scored at least 30 points 43 times last year, including the postseason.

Jalen Brunson Understands Major Role As Knicks Captain Despite some off-shooting nights the captain of New York understands he needs to be more than just a dynamic guard.

Sniffs double-double Brunson had 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and nine assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 victory over the Heat.
Impact Brunson struggled with his shot Wednesday, but he thrived in the playmaking role while Karl-Anthony Towns carried New York's offense with a season-high 44-point effort. Brunson has been slumping with his shot over his last two games, shooting a combined 14-for-42 in that span, but that shouldn't worry fantasy managers. The star guard should bounce back sooner rather than later, although a slight decrease in his scoring figures to allow Towns to become the No. 1 option on offense might be due to happen.

Produces 21 points Brunson supplied 21 points (8-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Brunson survived a right knee scare during this game, forcing him to leave the game at one point. He did return for the fourth quarter, however, and seemed fine for the most part despite a cold night from the field. Through the first three games of the season, Brunson is averaging 23.0 points, 4.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers.

Scores 26 in win over Indiana Brunson had 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 123-98 victory over Indiana.
Impact Brunson has reached the 20-point mark while shooting over 50 percent from the field in his first two games. The star point guard is making the most of this new offense while also sharing the load with two newcomers, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Brunson isn't expected to shoot this efficiently throughout the entire year. Still, he's undoubtedly enjoying an excellent start to the season while leading the Knicks amid a complicated schedule to start the campaign.

Pops for 22 in opener Brunson racked up 22 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.
Impact The point guard tied for the team lead in scoring with Miles McBride, but Brunson's low assist total was a sign the Knicks' new-look roster still needs some time to gel. The 28-year-old averaged a career-high 6.7 assists a game in 2023-24 before taking it up another notch with 7.5 a game during the playoffs, and the offseason additions of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns should eventually lead to more distribution opportunities for Brunson.
