After scoring just 79 points in Game 3, the Cleveland Cavaliers now have to respond if they want to avoid going down 3-1 to the New York Knicks. Can they come back from a deficit for the second time in this series, or will the Knicks take full control?

Cleveland Cavaliers ML (+108)
For the second time in this series the Cavaliers find themselves trailing and this time it’s a much tougher situation than in Game 2 as they’re playing on the road. Their offense completely disappeared on Friday as they shot under 39% from the field and just 21% from three. That’s very uncharacteristic for a team that finished the regular season 8th in offensive rating. I’m expecting them to make adjustments for Game 4 and attacking the rim on a more consistent basis would be a good idea as 66.1% of their shots at the rim during the regular season went in. That might just be the thing they need to do to sneak out a win today. Despite the 20-point win in Game 3, the Knicks do have their flaws. Julius Randle appears to still have issues with his ankle and he went just 3-for-15 from the field in the last win. These teams are still too evenly matched in my opinion for either one of them to win consecutive games. I’ll count on the underdog Cavs to save their season and even things up at 2-2.

Donovan Mitchell to score 35+ points (+290)
If there’s one thing we learned in Game 3 of this series, it’s that the Cavaliers don’t have a lot of players that can step up in big moments. Evan Mobley and Darius Garland struggled in front of the Madison Square Garden crowd in their first road game in the NBA Playoffs. Donovan Mitchell has been in plenty of these situations before in his career, so I’m expecting him to carry this team on his back today. Cleveland simply cannot afford to lose this game, it might take a superhero effort by the man they call Spida for them to stay competitive in the series. Mitchell had scored 30 or more points in 5 of his last 9 games against the Knicks before this series started, clearing this line 4 times. During the regular season he averaged 31.8 points per game on better than 50% from the field and an impressive 46.8% from three in 4 meetings with the Knicks. We’re getting really solid odds for a 35+ point game from him, so let’s hope he steps up to the challenge.
