Brunson bounced back on Sunday after the Hawks limited him to 14 points in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal defeat. The Knicks point guard notched his eighth 30-point game of the season in Orlando, scoring 17 of his team-high 31 in the second half. While Brunson's production hasn't matched his Yahoo ADP (19), he remains a top 50 player in 9-cat formats. The Knicks play two games in Week 8, beginning with the Timberwolves on Thursday.
