Tony Star isn't the only Iron Man in New York, with MIkal Bridges making a convincing case for himself after impressive streak

Bridges totaled 27 points (9-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 37 minutes during Monday's 124-119 loss to the Pistons.

Cunningham had 36 points and the win as the Pistons took a 124-119 decision. The Knicks got 31 points and 11 assists from Brunson while Mikal Bridges added 27 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and 12 rebounds while playing through apparent pain after hitting his right thumb on the backboard early in the game.

Bridges contributed 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Friday's 117-107 loss to the Thunder.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s MVP candidate, is an All-Star lock. Williams — who is second on the team in points and assists, third in rebounds and is a versatile cog in their top-ranked and historically disruptive defense — is their only other true candidate. That might be Williams’ simplest case.

Josh Hart had 10 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists, Mikal Bridges scored 23 points and OG Anunoby added 17 as the Knicks won a rematch of last year’s first-round playoff series.

The New York Knicks will host the Pistons on Monday in the second half of a back-to-back. Here's the latest on Jalen Brunson's status.

Headlining the All-Contract team, and the only player whose name was featured in the title, is Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, who is the starter on the All-Contract team. Brunson is making just $24.9 million this season despite being one of the premiere guards in the NBA.

The Knicks let several leads slip through their fingers but never trailed en route to a 125-119 overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers thanks to a 38-point outburst from Jalen Brunson.
