After overcoming an historic fourth-quarter deficit in Game 1, the New York Knicks have cruised to victory in two straight games to capture a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

New York has been dominant on both ends of the court throughout the series, and my Knicks vs. Cavaliers predictions expect the visiting team to break out the brooms at Rocket Arena and punch its ticket to the NBA Finals.
Here are my best free NBA picks for Game 4 on Monday, May 25.
Knicks vs Cavaliers Game 4 prediction
Knicks vs Cavaliers best bet: Knicks -2 (-110)
The New York Knicks can attack in a variety of ways, as all five starters are averaging 14+ points.
The defensive versatility of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, the creative playmaking of Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, and the clutch scoring of Jalen Brunson give New York an undeniable edge.

Cleveland has struggled to move the ball effectively, and New York’s size and rebounding depth have largely neutralized the Cavs’ double-big advantage of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.
I expect a comfortable victory, and I’ll bet this line up to 4.5, making it a strong wager at -2.

COVERS INTEL:
New York is +225 during its current win streak, which is the most lopsided point differential in any 10-game streak in NBA history.
Knicks vs Cavaliers Game 4 same-game parlay
Game 1 totaled 219 points, but it took overtime to get there, and Game 2 went Under. New York’s stifling defense has dominated this series, and I don’t expect many points from the struggling Cavs. I like this line at 217, but I’ll bet it down to 215.5.

Bridges has averaged 26.1 PRA across his last eight games, clearing this combo line seven times. Cleveland’s lackluster defense won’t offer much resistance, particularly in transition as he scores and facilitates. I expected this line to be priced at 23.5, making it a solid value play.
