No Jalen Brunson? No OG Anunoby?

No problem for the injury-riddled Knicks, who got a career-best performance from Landry Shamet in Friday night’s 140-132 win over the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden.

Shamet erupted for a career-high 36 points on 12-of-19 shooting off the bench, giving the Knicks a major spark on a night they were short-handed.

He finished 6 of 12 on 3-point attempts and with a point differential of +11.

Brunson missed Friday’s game with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, while Anunoby suffered a left hamstring strain in the first quarter and did not return.

That led to a season-high 37 minutes for Shamet, who scored 30 points in the second half.

Chants of “Land-ry Sham-et” turned to chants of “M-V-P” from an awestruck Garden crowd.

Shamet’s previous career high was 31 points.

He entered Friday averaging 7.6 points in 19.2 minutes per game over his first 11 appearances, which included three starts.

Shamet, 28, led a Knicks bench unit that totaled 75 points, helping to pick up the slack without Brunson, who averages 28.0 points per game, and Anunoby, who entered Friday averaging 17.1.

Jordan Clarkson scored a season-high 24 points on 6-of-13 shooting in 33 minutes, while Josh Hart delivered his first triple-double of the season with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes.
