The Knicks can attack in a variety of ways, as all five starters are averaging 14+ points.

Cleveland has struggled to move the ball effectively, and New York’s size and rebounding depth have largely neutralized the Cavs’ double-big advantage of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.

I expect a comfortable victory, and I’ll bet this line up to 4.5, making it a strong wager at -2.

Game 1 totaled 219 points, but it took overtime to get there, and Game 2 went Under. This series has been dominated by New York’s stifling defense, 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.

Mikal 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.

Cleveland’s defense has allowed opponents to hit 37% of three-pointers. Miles McBride only needs a pair of triples to cash this prop. I’m also willing to take a chance on his 1.5 three-point line at +150.

OG Anunoby is shooting a blistering 50.9% from distance. He can exploit Cleveland’s defensive shortcomings.

New York’s 10-game heater has featured Towns as a key facilitator. His 30% assist percentage is significantly higher than his regular-season mark of 23.6%.

Cleveland sports a modest 47.9% rebound percentage, and Hart can grab 8+ rebounds as he’s done in eight of 13 appearances.
