Knicks vs Cavaliers parlay pick: Under 233.5 (-114)
The Knicks have seen 5 of their last 7 games come in under the combined 233-point mark. Tonight’s clash against the Cavaliers should follow the same pattern. Over the last 10 games the Knicks are just 24th in pace. With their opponent’s 18th in that category, this one should lean towards being a half-court battle. Both teams should thrive in that environment, considering that over the last 10 games, the sides are 5th and 9th in defensive rating, respectively.
The hosts also have the wing defenders with the likes of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges that can really impact the likes of James Harden and Donovan Mitchell. With the teams fighting for position in the standing, do not be surprised to see a playoff like atmosphere here too.

Knicks vs Cavaliers SGP pick: Karl-Anthony Towns over 1.5 made threes (+110)
Karl-Anthony Towns has long been one of the best floor spacing big men in the league. While that has not always been on show this season, he has shown signs of recovery in his last 2 games. In those efforts he has been able to make 8 of 12 attempts from beyond the arc. Against a good rim protector like Jarrett Allen, he will have to step into the floor spacing role once more. The Cavaliers have been letting teams get their shots off too, being 28th in opponent 3-point attempts per game over the last 10 games. Towns will be one of the players benefiting from this. With 38.9% shooting from deep in February so far, back him to make at least a couple.

Knicks vs Cavaliers SGP pick: Sam Merrill over 2.5 made threes (+104)
One player who has been an absolute flamethrower in February is Sam Merrill. The Cavaliers guard has been knocking down 3.8 3-pointers per game on phenomenal 57.7% shooting from beyond the arc. That has given him an incredible green light from deep, with only 1.2 of his field goal attempts per game this month not being shots from 3-point range. He is not going to pass up on any opportunities tonight. In 2 games against the Knicks this season Merrill is averaging 9 3-point attempts per game, hitting the over on this line once, while finishing just short in the other meeting. Similar shot output combined with his efficiency so far this month should lead to at least 3 made attempts from out there for the guard.
