Cleveland is in the playoffs for the first time without LeBron James since 1998 and Donovan Mitchell is a big reason as he has averaged 28.3 points on 48.4 percent shooting overall and 38.6 percent on 3-pointers. The Cavaliers are 19-7-1 ATS against opponents that have winning road records and they are 7-3 ATS their past 10 games overall and 24-16-1 ATS at home this season. Cleveland allows only 106.9 points per game and that is tops in the league and the Cavs have stayed UNDER five of their past seven games and five of six at home. New York lost 141-136 to Indiana in the regular season finale and the Knicks have gone UNDER five of six after allowing at least 125 points. Cleveland is in triple revenge after losing the last three meetings. Take the Cavaliers as a Max Play and the UNDER.
