🧠 Zach Cohen’s NBA Report
For the first time since 1999, the Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals. New York secured a sweep of Cleveland in a 37-point beatdown in Game 4. Six Knicks players scored in double figures in a game that was never close.
The Knicks have now won 11 consecutive playoff games, covering in 10 and winning by an average of 23.8 points per game.
The Thunder host the Spurs in a pivotal Game 5 at the Paycom Center on Tuesday. DraftKings has Oklahoma City as a 5.5-point home favorite and -198 on the moneyline. Ajay Mitchell has already been ruled out, and while there’s hope Jalen Williams (questionable) will return, his hamstring injury has been upgraded from soreness to a strain — suggesting a longer timeline than Oklahoma City is letting on.
For those looking ahead, FanDuel has early Game 1 Finals lines posted: San Antonio would be -4.5, while Oklahoma City would be -6.5.

⚾ MLB
The Cubs had the best record in baseball earlier this month — now they’re not even in the playoff picture.
That’s what a nine-game losing streak will do for you.
Greg Peterson doesn’t like their chances to end the streak today vs. Pittsburgh.
The handicap: The Cubs start Jordan Wicks in his first MLB appearance of the season. At Triple-A, Wicks posted a 4.44 ERA with 1.7 home runs and 4.1 walks per nine innings.
Pick: Pirates Moneyline -125
Greg’s Handicap: Pirates -139
