Mikal Bridges has been one of New York’s most reliable scorers throughout the playoffs, especially in high-tempo matchups where his transition game and perimeter shooting become key factors. Against Cleveland’s aggressive defense, Bridges should continue seeing heavy minutes and plenty of shot volume on the wing.
He has consistently hovered around this scoring line during the postseason and remains a major secondary scoring option behind Brunson. With Cleveland likely focusing defensive pressure toward the Knicks’ backcourt, Bridges could benefit from open catch-and-shoot opportunities and mismatches in transition.
