    Analysis

    The Hurricanes were clearly rusty in Game 1 as Frederik Andersen had been historically good in these playoffs before getting shelled in the opener. I expect good Fred tonight in Game 2. He hadn't allowed more than two goals in any other postseason game. And if that happens again, this certainly should cash. It's our only 6.5 on the board.

    Analysis

    FanDuel. Hopping back on Mikal Bridges’ over for Game 3. The Knicks guard has recorded 22+ combined points, rebounds and assists in seven straight games, all in varying gamescripts. Atop of the minutes ladder right now (37 and 40 thus far this series), Bridges is playing some of his best basketball of the season. On the offensive end, he’s benefitted from the individual matchup of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. When either are switched onto the primary action with Jalen Brunson, Bridges has done well to find the open space in the Knicks fluid offense. Take this over up to 19.5 with confidence.

    Picked: May 23 @ 9:04am

    Analysis

    Mikal Bridges played 42 minutes in Game 1, then followed that up with 40 minutes in Game 2. The result was him scoring 18 and 19 points, respectively. After a slow start to the playoffs, he has scored at least 17 points in six of his last seven games. He was better on the road during the regular season, averaging 15.6 points and shooting 51.5% from the field. Even with this series shifting to Cleveland, Bridges is in a favorable position to score at least 14 points.

    Rebounds
    Picked: May 23 @ 9:17am

    Analysis

    Mitchell Robinson has recorded six or fewer rebounds in seven straight games. He only logged 14 minutes in Game 1, then followed that up with 12 minutes in Game 2. With him being such a poor free throw shooter, the Cavaliers have been intentionally fouling him to put him on the line. When they started to do that again in the second half of Game 2, the Knicks quickly pulled him from the game. Robinson is going to be hard pressed to play much more than 15 minutes in Game 3, so I’ll pay the juice and take this under.

    Picked: May 23 @ 10:43am

    Analysis

    Have the Knicks looked sensational lately? For sure. Are they getting overhyped because of us and ESPN, etc., because it's a New York team? 100% I don't need to see Mariska Hargitay this much if not watching SVU. But I can't ever crack on Ben Stiller because, obviously, Severance. This is clearly the season for the Cavs. They might be broken after that Game 1 collapse but I really don't think they get swept. What did they expect banking on James Harden? But they have been pretty dominant at home in these playoffs. Trying to think of the Cleveland famous fan version of Mariska. Drew Carey? Mr. Taylor Swift?
