NBA | Knicks vs Cavs
Play on: Cavs +2½ -110 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on the Cavaliers.

After ten straight wins, I think the Knicks finally have a small mental letdown here.

The Cavaliers will look to avoid the series sweep, as note that looking back finds Cleveland 6-2 ATS in its last eight in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent.

While I think the outright win is the most likely outcome for Cleveland, I'll recommend taking a second look at the points; the play is on the CAVALIERS.

Good luck, NP

Game Analysis

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 5/24:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Sunday is with Under the Total in Game Four of the Western Conference finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs. Oklahoma City (74-19) has won 10 of their last 11 games after their 123-108 upset victory as a 2.5-point underdog on Friday. The Thunder have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total after an upset win as a road underdog. They have also played 39 of their last 72 games Under the Total against teams from the Southwest Division. San Antonio (71-26) has trails 2-1 in this series — and they have played 11 of their last 17 games Under the Total after an upset loss in their last game. The Spurs have also played 4 of their last 5 games at home Under the Total when playing with revenge. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports’ 20 of 23 (87%) NHL Game of the Month/Year Playoff run kept up after DELIVERING their 25* NHL Atlantic Division Game of the Year on Montreal at +110 in that Game Seven on Monday!
