U.S. sportsbooks released the opening point spread for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals late Wednesday, only hours after the New York Knicks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2.
The newly posted line was described by oddsmakers as “surprising,” suggesting a closer matchup than many bettors expected in the wake of New York’s blowout victory. Early wagering began almost immediately after the number appeared on betting boards.
Game 3 is set for Saturday in Cleveland.
