Jalen Brunson accounted for 34 points (10-of-25 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), one rebound, four assists, two steals and six three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Cavaliers.
Brusnon and the Knicks got off to a brutally slow start on Christmas Day, making just two of their first 15 shot attempts. New York would get off the mat during the second and fourth quarters, but it was the bench that sparked the rallies as opposed to Brunson. The captain finished with his 15th game of 30 points or more, so all wasn’t lost for those who have him rostered. And individual plus/minus, which can be a flawed stat to begin with, is not a scoring category in fantasy leagues.
