Premium Pick

New York won Game three by a  99-79 score in a game that looked more like one from the early 2000s when scores like these were more commonplace. The Cavaliers were held to 38.8 percent shooting and had 12 turnovers by halftime and only 32 points. Cleveland went UNDER for the fifth game in a row and its past four games have stayed UNDER by an average of 20.9 points and the Cavs have failed to hit the 100 mark in three of them. Jalen Brunson scored 21 points and R.J. Barrett added 19 for the Knicks, who shot 47 percent after starting out slowly in the first quarter. Six of the past nine meetings have gone UNDER and Cleveland is 8-2 UNDER after losing by at least 10 points its previous game. New York is 13-4-1 ATS following a win and 9-4-1 ATS its past 14 home games. The Cavaliers are 2-5-1 ATS their past eight games overall. Play the Knicks, the first half UNDER as a Max Play and game to go UNDER.
