The Knicks are looking to sweep the Cavs in Game 4 in Cleveland, and it will depend on Jalen Brunson who has been instrumental this series.

With the Spurs and Thunder series requiring at least two more games, I think we’ll see Mike Brown do whatever it takes to close this series in Game 4 – which means big Brunson minutes.

Brunson is averaging 29 points and 8.7 assists against the Cavs this series, and has covered the PA line of 32.5 in all three games.

From Brunson’s last seven games he’s averaging 29 points and 7.1 assists, and has covered this line in five of those games – one he fell 0.5 short, the other he played just 28 minutes. Think we’ll see a monster Brunson game to close this series.

Value Bet

Max Strus

1+ 1st Quarter Assist

$2.35

Unusual market, but we’ve seen Max Strus playing around half of the first quarter in each game this series, and has played his role immediately.

Strus has had at least one assist in each of the three games this series, while in Game 7 against the Pistons he played eight first quarter minutes and had two.

All signs point to Atkinson getting Strus in early and playing closer to eight first quarter minutes here. Wade played a post-season low 16.8 minutes in Game 3 with zero impact, while Strus finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. It’s win or go home, so expect Strus to be thrown in quickly.
