New York Knicks point guard
Jalen Brunson put up a game-high 37 points on 12-for-27 shooting in Monday's 100-94 Game 2 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Brunson made it back-to-back 30-point efforts to start the 2025 postseason, but he failed to lead his team to victory this time around. The two-time All-Star finished 4-for-12 from downtown and shot 9-for-11 from the free-throw line, wrapping things up with three rebounds, seven assists, and two steals across 44 minutes of action. For the second game in a row, Brunson briefly exited the contest in the fourth quarter, which is slightly concerning. However, even if he is dealing with some ailment, it certainly isn't affecting his performance. Through the first two games of the series, Brunson has averaged an impressive 35.5 points along with 7.5 assists.

New York Knicks point guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Detroit Pistons. The savvy guard battled an ankle sprain during the final few weeks of the regular season and skipped the regular-season finale on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Prior to that, Brunson featured in four consecutive games, so he should be in top shape for the postseason. In the first-round series against Detroit, Brunson will square off against
Cade Cunningham in a fascinating head-to-head battle. The Knicks star notched 28.3 points and 7.8 assists with 41.9 percent three-point shooting in four regular-season clashes against the Pistons.

Brooklyn Nets guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Nets. The Knicks will enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. As expected, the team will give Brunson the day off to rest after appearing in consecutive contests on Thursday and Friday. Without him,
Miles McBride, averaging 13.7 points, 1.1 steals, and 43.6% shooting from behind the arc in nine starts this season, should see a bump in DFS production, especially with
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee),
OG Anunoby (thumb), and
Josh Hart (knee) also ruled out.

Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports that guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
OG Anunoby (thumb) and
Josh Hart (knee) are also in, while
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out. One thing to consider for fantasy managers is that Brunson sits at 64 games played right now, so he only needs one more game to qualify for regular season awards and All-NBA teams. He's averaged 19.0 points, 7.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 33.7 minutes across three outings after a 15-game absence due to an ankle injury.
