The Knicks face a significant challenge with a thin bench, finishing last in bench scoring during the regular season and averaging just 11.5 points in their first-round playoff series against the Pistons. As they prepare for the Celtics, combo guard Miles McBride is crucial to their success, despite his struggles in the first round, where he averaged 3.8 points on poor shooting percentages. If McBride can improve his three-point shooting, it will enhance the Knicks’ offensive spacing and provide them a better chance to compete against Boston.
