The New York Knicks have brought the brooms with them on the road, looking to sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers with a win in Game 4 and punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.

The books seem to agree, picking New York as the slight road favorite in the NBA odds.

If Cleveland has any hopes of extending this series, theyr’e going to need better production across the board, including star James Harden, who I’m featuring in player prop bets for Game 4 (hint: it’s not good).

Read below for a list of Knicks vs Cavaliers odds, from their NBA starting lineups to the reserves, and my best bets for Monday night’s potential clincher.

Knicks vs Cavaliers Prop Pick #1: Jalen Brunson Points

Pick 1: Jalen Brunson OVER 26.5 Points (-112 at bet365)

Brunson has been the undisputed offensive engine for the Knicks, and backing him to clear 26.5 points is my top play for the road team.

While he averaged 24.7 points on the road during the regular season, his playoff volume has skyrocketed, up to 29.0 points per game.

Over his last 10 postseason games, Brunson is averaging 27.8 points, jumping to 28.4 over his last five. The Cavaliers struggle to defend without fouling, surrendering 28.2 free throw attempts per game this postseason.

Brunson is exploiting this beautifully, averaging 8.6 free throw attempts in this series. Even if his perimeter shot isn’t falling, getting to the charity stripe gives him an incredibly safe floor.

NY Knicks vs CLE Cavaliers Prop Pick #2: James Harden Assists

Pick 2: James Harden UNDER 6.5 Assists (-140 at bet365)

Fading Harden’s playmaking offers the most compelling value on the board.

The veteran guard has struggled with New York’s defensive pressure, recording just 10 total assists across the first three games.

That meager 3.3 assists per game is a massive drop-off from the 7.7 he averaged at home during the regular season. In his last five playoff games, his production cratered to 4.0 assists per game. Worse, he has committed 12 turnovers against the Knicks, yielding an abysmal 0.83 assist-to-turnover ratio.

James Harden Assists Easten Conference Finals

GameResultAssistsTurnovers
3121-108 (L)5.06
2109-93 (L)2.00
1115-104 OT (L)3.06

The Knicks have stifled ball movement all playoffs long, restricting opponents to a postseason-low 21.2 assists per game. Harden has gone under this 6.5 assist mark in all three games of this series. With the Knicks consistently taking away passing lanes, I expect his distribution woes to continue tonight.
