Knicks Favored to Complete 4-0 Sweep as Betting Pick Backs New York Moneyline
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 25
New York entered Game 4 as a consensus 2.5-point favorite, with betting analysis backing the Knicks moneyline at -140 to finish a sweep of Cleveland in the Eastern Conference finals.
A 3-0 series lead and 10 straight playoff wins underpin that call, with the Knicks posting a +225 point differential over their last 10 games — the best such regular-season or postseason span on record.
The same card also backed Mikal Bridges over 14.5 points after he scored at least 18 in every game of the series and averaged 19.1 points since late in the first round.
Cleveland center Jarrett Allen was picked to top 12.5 points after scoring 13-plus in Games 2 and 3, even as the broader outlook projected a 114-101 Knicks win and an NBA Finals berth.
