For the game, the Knicks could be without their best player, as Jalen Brunson is on the injury report. The All-Star point guard is averaging 25.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists per contest while shooting 48.

Brunson now boasts 17 games with at least 40 points as a Knick, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the third most in franchise history. Patrick Ewing, who achieved the feat 30 times, and Bernard King, who did so 23 times, are the only players in Knicks history with more 40-point games.

Jalen Brunson wouldn’t reveal much about the shoulder injury that forced him to leave in the third quarter Sunday.
