The New York Knicks<\/a> have had time to ponder returning to the NBA<\/a> Finals for the first time since 1999, and they face their final hurdle when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>. Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals is Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, and New York last played nine days ago, when it finished a sweep of the 76ers<\/a>. Meanwhile, both series for Cleveland have gone seven games, and they just finished off the top-seeded Pistons<\/a> on Sunday. The Knicks are favored at home by 6.5 points in the latest Cavaliers vs. Knicks odds from FanDuel, and the Over\/Under for total points is set at 217.5.<\/p>\n The Knicks are expecting\u00a0OG Anunoby<\/a> to return after he missed the final two games of the semifinals with a hamstring injury, and New York otherwise has a clean bill of health. For the Cavs, Larry Nance Jr<\/a>. is questionable with an illness, but there are no notable injuries.<\/p>\n We have scoured the odds from FanDuel Sportsbook and consulted the SportsLine Projection Model to put together a same-game parlay for Game 1 between the Cavaliers and Knicks<\/a>. The model simulates every game 10,000 times and entered the conference finals of the 2026 NBA playoffs on a sizzling 26-10 roll (72%) on top-rated NBA spread picks this season. Anyone following its\u00a0NBA betting<\/a>\u00a0advice at\u00a0sportsbooks<\/a>\u00a0and on\u00a0betting apps<\/a>\u00a0could have seen huge returns.<\/p>\n Use the latest FanDuel promo code<\/a> for a great offer for betting on Cavaliers vs. Knicks in the NBA Playoffs.<\/p>\n Cavaliers vs. Knicks Game 1 same-game parlay picksKnicks -6.5OG Anunoby Over 16.5 points + assistsDonovan Mitchell<\/a> Over 8.5 rebounds + assists<\/p>\n Same-game parlay odds: +498<\/p>\n Knicks -6.5<\/p>\n New York has been dominant throughout these playoffs, and they’ll certainly welcome Anunoby back. He is averaging 21.4 points in the postseason, and New York is outscoring the opposition by 20 points per 100 possessions with him on the court. The Knicks are 51-42 against the spread this season, including 30-15 ATS at home. They are plus-194 in points differential over their 10 playoff games. The SportsLine model has New York covering the spread in 57% of its simulations. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n OG Anunoby Over 16.5 points + assists<\/p>\n Anunoby is a critical piece to what the Knicks are trying to do, on both ends of the court. He led the team in scoring three times in the opening round’s six games and scored 24 in his last game against Philly. Anunoby averaged 16.7 points and 2.2 assists in the regular season and is scoring 21.4 and averaging 1.2 assists in the playoffs. He could easily top this number in points alone, so if he’s not limited this should be a strong play. The SportsLine props model projects him for 19.4 points + assists<\/a>.<\/p>\n Donovan Mitchell Over 8.5 rebounds + assists<\/p>\n Mitchell hasn’t been distributing the ball as much in these playoffs, but he had six rebounds and eight assists (to go with 26 points) in the clincher against Detroit. He averaged 4.5 rebounds and 5.7 helpers in the regular season and is averaging exactly 8.5 rebounds + assists in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. The emotions will be ratcheted up in the conference finals, and the SportsLine model likes Mitchell for 9.3 rebounds + assists in Game 1.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imagn Images The New York Knicks have had time to ponder returning to the NBA Finals for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680830,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[6359,49,48,249943,249940,249941,157214,157215,2357,8028,2358,157218,91282,459,140397,109677,153859,109676,110251,110250,233800,2901,10050,249942,1528,82],"class_list":["post-680829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-betting","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cavaliers-kn","tag-cavaliers-knicks-game-1","tag-cavaliers-knicks-injury-report","tag-cavaliers-knicks-odds","tag-cavaliers-knicks-picks","tag-cleveland-cavaliers","tag-detroit-pistons","tag-donovan-mitchell","tag-donovan-mitchell-player-props","tag-larry-nance-jr","tag-nba","tag-nba-injury-report","tag-nba-odds","tag-nba-parlay","tag-nba-picks","tag-nba-player-props","tag-nba-predictions","tag-nba-sgp","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-og-anunoby","tag-og-anunoby-player-props","tag-philadelphia-76ers","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
