The New York Knicks (-4.5) will look to extend a four-game winning streak as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
New York is playing more like the team that won a championship last season, and I like them to cover in my Cavaliers vs. Knicks prediction.
Let's take a look at all my free NBA picks for Wednesday, Nov. 11.
TOP PICK
Cavaliers vs Knicks prediction: Knicks -4.5
After some early struggles, the New York Knicks look like the team that won a championship last season, winning four straight and covering in each of their last three games.
The Knicks are now fourth in defensive efficiency (104.5), holding opponents to just 94.3 ppg over their last four games, and lead the NBA in rebounding rate (55.4%).
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost four of their last five, which includes a 109-97 loss to New York on Saturday. In that game, the Knicks outrebounded the Cavs 49-40, including grabbing 16 offensive boards.
All those extra possessions are tough for anyone to overcome against this Knicks defense. I like New York to cover at up to -6.5 tonight.
COVERS INTEL: The Cavaliers rank 29th in offense from offensive rebounding (-2.3) and 26th in defense from rebounding (-2.1), numbers that play incredibly badly against the Knicks.
Cavaliers vs Knicks combo
The Knicks have not only been outstanding on defense, but they've also played slowly this season, ranking in the bottom three in the NBA in pace stats. This has helped the Under go 8-2 in New York's games so far this year.
Cleveland has also hit the Under in five of their last eight games, and I like targeting it tonight at a reasonable total.
Even while backing the Under, I still like Jalen Brunson to score 25+ points for the Knicks. Brunson is averaging 25.9 ppg for the season, and went for 31 points on 12-of-25 shooting against Cleveland on Saturday. I'm expecting similar output from the Knicks star tonight.
Cavaliers vs Knicks combo
- Knicks -4.5
- Under 222.5
- Jalen Brunson 25+ points
Cavaliers vs Knicks player props
Cavaliers player prop: Evan Mobley 2+ threes made
While Evan Mobley has never been a sharpshooter, he has steadily increased his three-point volume throughout his career. Those numbers have reached a new high this season, as he's chucking up 4.2 shots per game from beyond the arc.
Shockingly, Mobley had hit those threes at a 50% rate so far this year. That won't keep up, but he's been pretty solid from deep for a big map, shooting 37%+ in two of his last three full seasons.
Mobley has hit multiple threes in six of his last 10 games, and I think he offers great value to hit that target tonight at up to 45%.
Knicks player prop: Karl-Anthony Towns 35+ points + rebounds + assists
Karl-Anthony Towns is off to an outstanding start for the Knicks this year, averaging 20.9 ppg while leading the NBA with 13.8 rebounds per contest. That's powered him to an average of 37.8 PRA per game on the season.
Towns has been extremely consistent in his rebounding, snagging 10+ boards in all 10 games he's played this season. Add in the fact that he put up 29 points against the Cavaliers on Saturday, and he's putting up numbers that should get him well over this total.
I like Towns to get 35+ PRA at up to 66% tonight.
