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.

On a night when Jalen Brunson (13 points, one rebound, four assists and one block) was under the weather, Hart was among the Knicks who picked up the slack. Dealing with a sore ankle, the Knicks' wing matched his season-high in points and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Even with his usually limited scoring output, Hart continues to provide excellent value in category leagues. And every so often, he has a night like Wednesday in which the shots are falling consistently.

Mikal Bridges scored 19 of his 30 points in the third quarter, Karl-Anthony Towns had a season-high 22 rebounds and the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to four, rallying past the Toronto Raptors 119-92 on Wednesday night. OG Anunoby had 26 points and a season-high six steals against his former team. Josh Hart scored 22 points and Jalen Brunson added 13 as the Knicks won their 11th straight meeting with Toronto.

Brunson is going to give it a go after getting through his individual pregame workout. With the Knicks playing their second game in as many nights and Miles McBride out, look for Tyler Kolek to play rotation minutes. However, he isn't worth streaming here.
