The Knicks are seeing the true value of Miles McBride during his absence
New York Knicks backup guard Miles McBride has missed the last two games for personal reasons, and the team has really felt his absence tremendously.
The Knicks have lost their last two games at the hands of the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. In both games, the supporting cast was unable to pick up Jalen Brunson, who scored 37 points against the Heat and 36 against the Bucks.
New York is seeing just how valuable McBride is to their team. As their top bench scoring option, the Knicks need him on the floor to provide the necessary support that Brunson needs during the time he needs a rest.
Against the Heat, the bench shot just 1-for-18 from three-point range in the loss. Jordan Clarkson, who assumed the role of top bench scorer, shot just 2-for-11 in the game.
The bench didn’t provide much more against the Bucks, and the team blew a 12-point halftime lead and lost by 10. With McBride unavailable, the Knicks had to rely on others to get the job done, but they haven’t been able to do so.
Author's summary: Knicks feel McBride's absence.
