Wizards fall to the Knicks, 113-109. Close game, but Jalen Brunson’s 20 pts in the 4th proved too much. – 10:09 PM

Jalen Brunson up to 40 points now. Too late now, but the Wizards needed to start doubling him, because they sure never stopped him. – 9:52 PM

Imagine telling a teenage Jalen Brunson he’d score 40+ points for the Knicks inside MSG and the crowd would be chanting “MVP! MVP!!” every time he stepped to the FT line while his dad watched from the bench and his mom and sis watched from the stands.

Understanding that NBA matchup data can be funky, #Cavs Isaac Okoro has spent more time guarding Damian Lillard than any other player besides Jalen Brunson and Coby White this year. In those two matchups against Lillard, Okoro has held him to 4 of 15 shooting and 1 of 6 from 3. – 1:20 PM

Jalen Brunson should — and will — get strong consideration for a starting guard spot from media and coaches. But in the fan vote — which accounts for 50% — he continues to get clobbered. I expected more, @JerryFerrara. You’ve got two days to marshal your people! pic.twitter.com/6JWsAoXMPK – 1:17 PM

Jalen Brunson remains 6th among Eastern Conference guards in the final fan vote returns for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. Julius Randle falls from 8th to 9th in the frontcourt.
Media votes are due by 1/20. The West is way harder to vote than the East. pic.twitter.com/GKXlYPt1SP – 1:10 PM

“He’s an All-Star. You can take that way. He’s an All-Star. To me he should be in the All-Star Game,” starting center Isaiah Hartenstein told The News. “To have an All-Star not on your team is gonna be hard regardless. I think we’ve still got guys who are stepping up and doing a great job, but at the end of the day, you’re losing an All-Star. So you can try to sugarcoat it and try to find ways how [to get by], but you’re losing an All-Star. That was the biggest thing.” -via New York Daily News / January 15, 2024
