Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Cavaliers will be played in Cleveland on Monday. New York leads this series 3-0 and can advance to the NBA Finals with a win. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Knicks are favored by 2.5 points for Game 4 and this contest carries a total of 218.5 points.

Let’s dive into my favorite Mikal Bridges player prop for Monday’s contest.

Best Mikal Bridges prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Mikal Bridges 2+ points in the first three minutes (+145)

After a rough start to these playoffs, Bridges has been excellent. In his last eight, Bridges is scoring 19.1 PPG while shooting 69% from the field and handling a 17.1% usage rate. The veteran has been quick to score in many of these games, scoring 2+ points in the first three minutes of five of these eight.

Bridges is shooting 73% from the field in the first three minutes this postseason and just in Saturday’s Game 3, the 29-year-old opened the contest with four points in the first three minutes.

The Cavaliers rank 12th in defensive rating this postseason and backing Bridges for 2+ points in the first three minutes tonight makes a ton of sense at this +145 price on DraftKings Sportsbook.
