As the Cleveland Cavaliers face a must-win situation against the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, several key player prop bets emerge for savvy bettors.

Donovan Mitchell has proven to be a pivotal player for the Cavaliers. Despite the team's 0-3 deficit, he is averaging 26 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in the series. Mitchell enters Game 4 with an impressive shooting percentage of 46.8% from the field, and SportsLine's projection model expects him to surpass his total of 30.5 points + assists, projecting an average of 32.5.

Mikal Bridges of the Knicks is another player to watch. He has consistently performed well, scoring at least 18 points in all three games of the series and averaging 22 points in Game 3. Given his high efficiency (shooting 71.1%), the over on his 14.5 points seems likely, especially as he approaches 40 minutes of play.

Lastly, Jarrett Allen has shown improvement, scoring 17 points in Game 3. Allen has averaged 15.7 points over his last nine playoff games and has scored at least 13 points in seven of those contests. Given his usual performance and the Cavaliers' need to avoid elimination, betting on him to exceed 12.5 points appears to be a solid choice.

Top NBA Player Prop Picks for Game 4:

• Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers: Over 30.5 points + assists
• Mikal Bridges, Knicks: Over 14.5 points
• Jarrett Allen, Cavaliers: Over 12.5 points

With the stakes high, these prop bets could lead to significant returns for those following SportsLine's expert advice.
