Posts double-double
Brunson notched 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and 10 assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 136-96 victory over the Bulls.
Analysis
Brunson, who was making his return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, didn't have his best performance in what was a favorable matchup on paper. However, the Knicks didn't need him to take over offensively in what turned out to be a 40-point win. Still, Brunson posted his first double-double since the loss to the Hornets on March 26, but he's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in back-to-back games, something that hadn't happened since a two-game stretch between March 4 and March 6. One bad game won't define Brunson's impressive season, but his workload and playing time are two things worth monitoring closely with the regular season coming to an end Sunday, April 12.

Available for Friday
Brunson (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis
Brunson is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Presumably, Wednesday was more of a maintenance day for the star guard.

Ruled out Wednesday
Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.
Analysis
The Knicks are opting to give their star point guard a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set against a weak Memphis team while he manages right ankle soreness. With Miles McBride (pelvis) also sidelined Wednesday, New York's backcourt rotation will be extremely shorthanded. Look for Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet to absorb the bulk of the available minutes against Memphis.

May not play Wednesday
Brunson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to right ankle soreness.
Analysis
Wednesday marks the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Knicks, who are contemplating a maintenance day for Brunson while he manages a minor ankle issue. The Knicks have already ruled out Miles McBride (pelvis) for Wednesday, so if Brunson joins him on the sideline, more minutes would be available for the likes of Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet.
