- New York Knicks are on a 9-game win streak
- Cleveland Cavaliers are 5-9-0 ATS in their last 14 games
- The Under has cashed in 2 of the 3 previous meetings this year
Head To Head
- New York Knicks lead the all-time series 137-112
- New York Knicks won 109-93 when the two teams last met on May 21

Verdict
Cleveland have been strong at home during the playoffs so far, but the first two games give us cause for concern.
The Cavaliers’ offense is faltering at critical moments and the Knicks are taking full advantage, so give us New York and the free buckets in Game 3.
