Premium Pick

Cleveland is just a slight underdog on the road in Game 3, which would be surprising except that the Knicks' shooting was terrible on Tuesday as they made only 29 of 79 for 37 percent overall and 24 percent from 3-point distance. The Cavaliers had plenty of weapons as Donovan Mitchell had 17 points, but dished out 13 assists and Evan Mobley also had a double-double while Darius Garland led the Cavs with 32 points, including 26 in the first half. New York was held to 39 points before halftime and the game stayed UNDER by 16.5 points and this was after Game 1 went UNDER by 18 points and four of the past five meetings have gone UNDER. Cleveland is 4-1-1 ATS its past six road games and 8-3 ATS overall after winning by double digits. The Knicks are 17-5 UNDER their past 22 conference quarterfinal games Take the Cavaliers as a Max Play and the first half and game to stay UNDER.
