Cavaliers vs Knicks NBA Preview
We have two very different vibes heading into tonight.
The Knicks, who started 0-3, are back to their dominant ways following last night's 117-85 win over the lowly Bucks, where the team was able to play 14 guys and award nobody more than 30 minutes.
The Cavaliers, meanwhile, were humiliated on Monday, losing at home to the Hornets, who were without Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Moussa Diabate and Grant Williams, while also limiting injury-riddled Coby White to just 20 minutes. Cleveland lost 124-112 and entered the fourth quarter trailing by 27 points.
These two teams also just played this past weekend, where the Knicks won 109-97 in Cleveland, who were on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Knicks are in a back-to-back spot this time, although they're at home.
The Knicks had one absence in the game, Josh Hart (illness), who sat out. It was Hart's third-straight missed game, although the previous two were reportedly due to a sore right ankle.
The Cavs will be without Sam Merrill (elbow) on Wednesday night, while Jaylon Tyson (ankle) listed as questionable, although he has missed six straight contests.
Cavaliers vs Knicks Pick, Betting Analysis
The Knicks being on the second of a back-to-back doesn't worry me, given that they handled Milwaukee with ease, which is what defending champions are supposed to do with the (arguably) worst team in the Eastern Conference.
Do you really want to back Cleveland here? Do you? Yes, they're in an obvious bounce-back spot against a team on the second night of a back-to-back, but they also haven't beaten New York since February, and that's including last week and four playoff games from the spring.
I'm more than willing to be wrong in backing the Knicks here, who are in better form, more trustworthy at home and have owned the Cavs for six months.
Pick: Knicks -4.5 (-108)
