Jalen Brunson, Josh Harts status iffy ahead of…
The Knicks are still nursing some accidents with a couple important iffy statuses for MLK Day. But their opponent is in a lot worse form.
Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are both questionable with minor ankle accidents for Monday against the Mavericks. Neither performed in Saturday’s loss to the Suns.
Brunson, who sprained his ankle Wednesday, missed two consecutive video games. The Knicks (25-17), losers of three straight, are 1-4 without him this season.

The Mavericks (17-26), meanwhile, are severely depleted and keen for a good draft lottery odds.
Anthony Davis (finger sprain), Kyrie Irving (knee surgical procedure), D’Angelo Russell (sickness), P.J. Washington (personal causes), Dereck Lively II (foot surgical procedure) and Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain) are all out.
Cooper Flagg, the ballyhooed rookie, is listed as questionable for what can be his MSG debut as a skilled. Flagg sat the last two video games with an ankle sprain.
Flagg didn’t play in the last head-to-head with the Knicks on Nov. 19 in Dallas. The Knicks received 113-111.
