Analysis

James Harden Points Prop is currently Over/Under 19.5 (+123/-148).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 19.5 @ -161 before it was bet down to 19.5 @ -148.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Cavaliers have been the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists).
The matchup against the New York Knicks is a strong one for drawing fouls; the opposition's starting PGs have attempted an enormous 4.3 free throws per game this year (6th-most in the NBA).

Favors Under

This year, the other team's starting PGs have tallied 4.8 three attempts per game (2nd-lowest in the league) vs. the Knicks, identifying this as a tough matchup.
The 2nd-most sluggish pace team in the league over the last 15 games has been the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers will likely suffer a reduction in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the most lethargic pace-of-play team in the NBA over the last 25 games (the New York Knicks).
