New York at Cleveland

It might be in New York's best interest to have the Cavaliers win a game for a gentleman's sweep so the Knicks won't have a long layoff before the Finals, which won't begin until June 3. The Western Conference final could last longer, giving Oklahoma City or San Antonio a little more momentum heading into the series. Of course, the Knicks would never admit it, but subconsciously, a letdown is possible in Game 4. Cleveland has won its past seven Monday games, and six of its past eight games have gone OVER. The Knicks have gone OVER six of nine. Game 3 sailed OVER by 13.5 points. New York is 19-27-1 ATS on the road in 2025-26. Take the Cavaliers as Max Play, and bet the OVER.
