NBA player prediction: brunson to keep momentum
Brunson will lead Knicks to a New victory.
Match: New York Knicks vs Cleveland cavaliers
League / Competition: NBA
Our Pick: Jalen Brunson over 27,5 points
Odds: 1.86
Market: Player props
Analyst Confidence: 3/5
Brunson looks ready for another huge scoring night in Game 2 after exploding for 38 points in the series opener. Cleveland had no answer for him late in the game, especially when the Knicks forced switches and isolated him against slower defenders.
The matchup still favors Brunson heavily:
* Averaging over 28 PPG this postseason
* Scored 30+ in multiple recent playoff games
* Knicks continue running the offense through him in clutch situations
* Cleveland struggled containing his drives and mid-range game in Game 1
