Knicks: 3 players who need to step up against the Cavaliers

The New York Knicks are gearing up to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening series of the playoffs, but they’re still unsure if Julius Randle will be ready for action.

Reports have indicated that Randle is making good progress and could be available for Game 1, but it may be a risky strategy, especially if he re-aggravates the sprained left ankle.

Nonetheless, Randle is an essential variable to the Knicks’ success this year and what hopes to be a great postseason run. However, other players will need to step up to help supplement deficiencies and simply elevator their game against a strong Cleveland squad.
