Drops 13 dimes in win
Brunson provided 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 win over the Lakers.
Analysis
Brunson logged his lowest scoring total of the season in a full game on inefficient shooting, but he still made his presence felt elsewhere by handing out a season-high 13 assists and tying a season best with seven rebounds. While January was a bit quieter by the star guard's lofty standards -- 23.3 points, 4.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds across 13 appearances -- the 29-year-old remains the clear engine of the Knicks and a high-level performer.

Labors through illness in win
Brunson chipped in 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-92 win over the Raptors.
Analysis
Brunson clearly wasn't 100 percent out there, but he still played with a lot of intensity on defense, which helped set the tone for the Knicks. As a team, the Knicks locked in defensively during the third quarter and held Toronto to just 19 points while New York dropped in 35. It all culminated in a 27-point victory for the Knicks, and this was their 11th straight win over the Raptors.

Good to go Wednesday
Brunson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Brunson was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up Wednesday. The star point guard has appeared in each of New York's last four games, averaging 25.3 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 34.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

Added to injury report
Brunson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto with an illness, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
Brunson was a very late addition to the injury report, boding poorly for his chances of playing. With Miles McBride already out with an ankle injury, Landry Shamet, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson could all have extra opportunities in the New York backcourt.

Drops 28 points in win
Brunson contributed 28 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 103-87 win over the Kings.
Analysis
Brunson turned in an efficient performance and led all players in triples en route to a team-high 28 points. The star point guard has reached the 20-point threshold in each of his last 21 completed games. However, he dished out just four assists, marking the third time this month he has recorded fewer than five dimes when playing at least six minutes. On a more positive note, he blocked a shot for the first time since Jan. 7 and for just the fourth time this season.
