Dealing with calf contusion Brunson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left calf contusion.

Impact Brunson has yet to miss a game this season and is coming off a 30-point, eight-assist performance in Dallas on Thursday. If the potential All-Star point guard is sidelined, Miles McBride, Malachi Flynn, Josh Hart and Quentin Grimes would all be candidates for increased roles, though the Knicks' offense would presumably run through Julius Randle.

Poor shooting despite win Tuesday Brunson logged 12 points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 112-84 victory over Portland.

Impact Brunson had a rough time from the field despite the fact the Knicks cruised to an easy win over the Blazers, though there's a strong chance this was nothing more than an off game for the guard, as he has consistently been one of the best offensive threats for the Knicks throughout the campaign. Brunson is averaging 26.2 points, 7.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game since the beginning of December.

Impact Another Knicks game, another instance where Brunson shows why he's one of the most productive guards in the Eastern Conference, both in fantasy and in real life. The star floor general has been on a tear of late and has recorded 20 or more points in eight of his last nine outings, a span in which he's averaging 28.3 points per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field.
