The Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks do battle at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting trampled by the struggling Hornets in a 124-112 road defeat on Monday. Meleek Thomas led the team in scoring with 18 points on seven of 12 shooting off the bench, Peyton Watson added 13 points while Jarrett Allen chipped in with 12 points on five of five shooting. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 35 from the 3-point line, but they weren’t focused on defense and leaked 40 points in the second quarter and another 38 points in the third quarter to fall behind by as many as 33 points. The Cavaliers showed some fight but just ran out of time as they cut the deficit to just 10 points with 3:25 left on the clock.
New York Knicks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in great shape as they’ve reeled off six wins from their past seven outings and they will be eager to build on their current four-game win streak after blowing past the Bucks in a 117-85 home win last night. Jalen Brunson led the team with 23 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points with 16 rebounds while AG Aonunoby chipped in with 19 points on six of 12 shooting. As a team, the Knicks shot 45 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line as they swarmed the Bucks from the start and dominated the second quarter by 32-13 to take a 24-point lead into halftime and they did it again with another flurry in the fourth quarter to make it a complete blowout in the end.
Cleveland v New York Free Prediction
The Cavaliers are missing Sam Merrrill with Jaylon Tyson listed as questionable, while the Knicks are sweating on the availability of Josh Hart who is dealing with an illness.
These teams last met on Saturday and it was the Knicks who romped to a 109-97 road win behind 31 points from Jalen Brunson and 29 points from Karl-Anthony Towns. The Cavaliers did get 37 points from Donovan Mitchell but he had no support with players like James Harden scoring just seven points on two of nine shooting. The Knicks are playing their second game of a back to back set which gives the Cavaliers a chance, but I still think the Knicks get the win and cover at the short line.
