The Knicks are on an impressive run this postseason. After dropping the first 2 games in the 1st round to the Atlanta Hawks, they’ve ripped off 10 straight wins – 9 of which were 10+ point wins. They’ll look for the sweep tonight and a trip to their first NBA Finals since 1999. Let’s take a look at my best NBA player props for Monday, May 25, and don’t forget expert our NBA picks for EVERY game throughout the postseason.
Read our full Knicks vs Cavaliers Game 4 prediction
NBA player prop: Dean Wade (CLE) Under 8.5 points+rebounds+assists (-125)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
Dean Wade has given the Cavaliers virtually nothing on offense since Game 1. He played a series-low 16 minutes in Game 3, and didn’t see the court after he started the 3rd quarter for a 5-minute stint. Max Strus has provided the Cavaliers with shooting, rebounding, and playmaking throughout the series, while also bringing veteran experience. When Wade does see the floor, expect him to be occupied on Jalen Brunson defensively, while hopefully missing his corner 3s when given the opportunity.
Now get our Knicks vs Cavaliers Game 4 SGP at +575 odds
NBA player prop: Max Strus (CLE) Over 11.5 points+assists (-122)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing.
Feel free to pick either Max Strus o11.5 pts+asts or our play above, Dean Wade u8.5 pts+rebs+asts, as both plays correlate. With the Cavaliers down 3-0 and finding themselves as home underdogs in Game 4, head coach Kenny Atkinson will likely either change the starting lineup or have an extremely tight leash on role players like Wade and Sam Merrill. If Strus can give the Cavaliers instant offense, he will likely see another 30+ minutes.
