Quickley has hit this number in 23 of his last 28 games, and 13 of his last 18 playing with Brunson. I expect him to bounce back tonight against the Cavs after an rather uneventful Game 1 for him.

Jalen Bruson is a star. What Brunson lacks in size and athleticism, he makes up with elite foot work, strength, and basketball IQ. I also haven't seen him take a bad shot this season. Brusnon scored 27 points in game 1, despite playing just 30 minutes due to foul trouble. I expect him to play closer to 36-40 minutes tonight. The Cavs are an excellent defensive team and from a match up stand point, it doesn't get much tougher, but the Knicks didn't get much production from their bench outside of Josh Hart. Brunson is likely to continue getting up 20+ field goal attempts per game. Brunson averaged more than 27 PPG since January 1st and I expect another big performance tonight.

During his career, Donovan Mitchell has averaged 3.2 more shots per game in the playoffs than the regular season, and 1.6 more free throw attempts. Basically, he dominates the ball more than usual and takes an even higher percentage of his team's shots in the postseason. This has not been overly effective for his team's success, but after taking 30 shots in Game 1 (including 16 threes) and scoring 38 points in a loss, history suggests Mitchell's reaction will be to shoot even more. Thankfully, he's good enough to make most of his shots.

The Knicks have won and covered four straight against the Cavaliers. Neither team shot well in Game 1. Josh Hart had the most accurate shooting night with 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting, but he’s limping with a bad ankle and is questionable. The Cavs get the Game 2 cover with better execution, better shooting and improved ball security.

Key Knicks reserve Josh Hart has been upgraded to questionable so now we assume plays. The Knicks' reserves dominated their Cavs' counterparts in Game 1 in large part due to Hart in New York's 101-97 win. The Knicks are simply a matchup problem for the Cavs for whatever reason. That was evident in the regular season. Cleveland is 0-4 ATS in its past four at home.

Barrett struggled in Game 1, scoring just seven points over 31 minutes. He shot 2-for-12 from the field, including 1-for-5 from behind the arc. Including the regular season, Barrett has now scored 16 points or fewer in each of his five meetings with the Cavaliers. They had the best defensive rating in the league during the regular season, and Barrett shot just 29.6 percent from deep on the road, so I’ll take the under to hit.

Donovan Mitchell has faced the Knicks five times this season, recording at least five assists every time while averaging 7.6 assists. In Game 1 he had eight assists despite a subpar shooting effort from teammates like Evan Mobley (4 of 13). With Mitchell scoring 38 and no other Cavalier tallying more than 17 points on Saturday, look for Mitchell to focus on getting his teammates going early Tuesday. Go Over 4.5 assists.

One Cavalier who may have a tough time responding offensively is Evan Mobley. Still only 21-years old, he is coming off his worst field goal percentage game of the season in Saturday’s Game 1 loss (min. 10 attempts). He went 30% from the floor on 4 of 13 shooting. Additionally, I expect the guards to dictate the Cleveland offense on Tuesday. Take Mobley’s Under.

After Saturday’s Game 1 victory over the Cavaliers, the Knicks have now won four straight over Cleveland. Yet we often see a Game 1 victory become an afterthought. The tide can change quickly and I expect Cleveland to play much better at home, where the Cavs were 31-10 during the regular season. That will boost their offense and keep the Knicks below 105 points. Take the Cavaliers.
