Jalen Brunson (ankle) questionable Thursday for Knicks
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Brunson injured his ankle in Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies and was forced to leave early. He might miss a game or two, but Brunson reportedly avoided a serious injury. Miles McBride will likely replace Brunson in the starting lineup and play extended minutes. Malachi Flynn should also see more time off the bench.
numberFire's models project McBride for 37.9 minutes and 30.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. He averaged 27.2 minutes and 34.3 FanDuel points in two previous games without Brunson this season.
