Jalen Brunson logged 37 minutes in Monday’s 124-118 win over Houston, tallying 42 points (14-of-27 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.
After struggling during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, the Knicks had no such issues on Monday. And Brunson had much to do with that. New York outscored Houston by a 46-29 margin in the final frame, with the captain scoring 17 of his game-high 42 points. Over the past month, Brunson has offered 4th-round value in 8-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. He’ll look to build on Monday’s performance when the Knicks visit Toronto on Tuesday.
