SportsLine Model Unveils +459 Cavaliers-Knicks Game 2 Parlay as Knicks Cover in 63%

SportsLine's latest Cavaliers-Knicks Game 2 release built a same-game parlay at +459, pairing Knicks -5.5 with Karl-Anthony Towns over 17.5 points and Mikal Bridges over 19.5 points-plus-rebounds-plus-assists.
The model leans New York after Cleveland's overtime collapse in Game 1, projecting the Knicks to cover in 63% of 10,000 simulations as the Cavs try to recover from shaky late-game execution.
Towns is forecast for 20.5 points after scoring 13 in Game 1, with SportsLine expecting better shooting and potentially more floor time if Cleveland again targets Mitchell Robinson with fouls.
Bridges cleared the PRA line easily in Game 1 with 24 combined points, rebounds and assists, and the model projects him at 23.1 as New York enters Thursday with a clean injury report and a chance to take a 2-0 lead.
Is Karl-Anthony Towns' evolution into a pass-first playmaker the unexpected key that could propel the Knicks to the NBA Finals?
After a 99.9% win probability vanished, can Cleveland's resilience overcome New York's momentum, or is this series already mentally lost?
