Cleveland Cavaliers ML (+108)
For the 2nd time in this series the Cavaliers find themselves trailing and this time around it's a much tougher situation than in Game 2 as they're playing on the road. The 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, attacking the rim on a more consistent basis would be a good idea, 66.1% of their shots at the rim during the regular season went in and that might just be the thing they need to do to sneak out a win here. Despite the 20-point win in Game 3, the Knicks do have their flaws. Julius Randle appears to still have issues with his ankle, he went just 3-for-15 from the field in the win. These two teams are just too evenly matched in my opinion for either one of them to win consecutive games in this series. Count on the underdog Cavs to save their season here and even things up at 2-2.
