AustinsProps' NBA Friday Play of the Day: Cavaliers @ Knicks - 4/21

Vegas sees Game 3 between the Cavs and Knicks as a dead even affair but Austin sees this one playing out a little differently. Check out his pick below!

This is personally one of my favorite series of the NBA playoffs.

This series is tied up 1-1 with the Knicks stealing game 1 in Cleveland. The Cavs then bounced back and took game two at home. Now back in NY the Knicks look to win their first playoff home game and take the lead in this series. I’m not buying into that narrative as I think Cleveland comes into NY prepared and steals game 3 on the road. I believe the Cavs are a better basketball team along with having more playoff experiences than NY does.

This matchup is truly 50/50 as even Vegas isn’t sure which way this one should go. The Knicks were decent at home this season winning 23-18 however I don’t think that should scare Cleveland who on the road this season were 21-20. Both similarly matched teams I feel CLE has better guard play and I think the occasional inconsistencies from Julius Randle & RJ Barrett will play a factor tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them struggle.

Give me the Cavs ML +115 tonight!
