From a production standpoint, Brunson has served as the Knicks’ most dangerous scoring threat this season with a 27-point average, but the Pistons were able to shut the All-Star down the last time the two sides played, limiting Brunson to a mere 12 points. At the time, that was Brunson’s second-lowest scoring output of the season, but the 76ers held the Villanova product to just eight points before the All-Star Break. In between those rough outings, however, Brunson did sandwich together 31 and 40 points against the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers respectively, so his scoring has varied wildly over the past four games.
