The New York Knicks are in the driver's seat and have a chance to put the Cleveland Cavaliers out to pasture with a four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference finals tonight.
Our Knicks vs. Cavaliers same-game parlay expects that to come to fruition, with Mikal Bridges stepping up to show New York's superior depth.
It's all part of our Knicks vs. Cavaliers predictions and NBA picks for Monday, May 25.
Our best Knicks vs Cavaliers SGP for Game 4
SGP leg #1: Knicks -2
All members of the New York Knicks' starting five are averaging 14-plus points per game, showing how the team's depth is vastly superior to what the Cleveland Cavaliers are throwing out there in this series.
Cleveland has struggled moving the ball, and New York has effectively isolated the Cavs' big-man duo of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Without them finding a groove, it's been up to Donovan Mitchell and James Harden to beat the Knicks, and they simply haven't been up to the task.
SGP leg #2: Under 217
Game 1 saw 219 points, but that game required overtime. Game 2 went Under this number, and while Game 4 cleared it, the Cavs are exhausted and demoralized.
New York’s stifling defense has dominated this series, and I don’t expect many points from the struggling Cavs. I like this line at 217, but I’ll bet it down to 215.5.
SGP leg #3: Mikal Bridges Over 21.5 points + rebounds + assists
Jalen Brunson is the headliner, but the Knicks have thrived because of their bevy of depth options, including Mikal Bridges.
Bridges has averaged 26.1 PRA across his last eight games, clearing this combo line seven times. Cleveland’s lackluster defense won’t offer much resistance, particularly in transition as he scores and facilitates. I expected this line to be priced at 23.5, making it a solid value play
