Brunson-led Knicks Favored to Edge Cavaliers in East Finals
TL;DR
The Knicks enter the Eastern Conference Finals as -250 favorites over the Cavaliers (+200) with a -1.5 spread, fueled by rest after sweeping the 76ers and a league-best net rating and 3-point shooting. Cleveland counters with size from Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, but New York’s Jalen Brunson and a hot offense give the Knicks the edge; the piece projects a Game 1 win for New York and the series victory, aiming for their first NBA Finals berth since 1999.
