Winners and Whiners: Take the Knicks to cover against Cavaliers in Game 4

It writes: "It feels like Cleveland can easily respond in this game. At the same time, it's hard to have faith in their offense, especially on the road. Their spacing feels limited because of their big men, the root of their defense, and they haven't consistently taken advantage of the open looks they create. The Cavs are also playing fairly carelessly with the ball. New York hasn't tinkered with their lineup, while Cleveland has already swapped starting Okoro for LeVert in search of more offense. The Knicks have gotten three subpar performances from their leading scorer, Julius Randle, and took two games. New York takes this game because they can score more consistently, even when someone is having an off day."

Fansided: Go with the Cavaliers on the moneyline vs. Knicks in Game 4

Josh Yourish writes: "The Knicks shot 58% from two while the Cavs shot 51%. I don’t view that as being sustainable from New York. The Cavs were fourth in the NBA in opponent two point percentage allowing 52.4% this season and the Knicks were 18th in two-point field goal percentage, 54.6%. This might seem like very small differences, but they have a big impact from game to game. The Cavs simply cannot shoot it that poorly in Game 4 and the Knicks won’t shoot so well inside the arc with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen patrolling that area. I think this series heads back to Cleveland even at two games apiece."
