Tip the cap to Jose Alvarado in Game 4. The New York native knocked down huge shots during the Knicks ' second-half comeback, stealing minutes from Mikal Bridges in the 4th quarter. But now, on the road, I expect the Knicks to go back to most of their core, which includes Landry Shamet getting the bulk of the minutes off the bench. Alvarado was scoreless until scoring all 8 points in the 4th quarter, including back-to-back buckets within the last 4 minutes of the game. Those crunch-time minutes can go to any Knicks bench piece, especially if Jordan Clarkson or Miles McBride knock down early shots, which they are more than capable of. Bridges can also progress back to 35 minutes if he's playing well enough.
