Cleveland Cavaliers at New York Knicks Overview
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers enter off a 123-110 loss at home when they hosted the visiting Portland Trailblazers on Monday. Cleveland failed to come in under the number when they closed as a 9.5-point underdog.
New York Knicks
The Knicks also enter into this contest on the heels of another successful upset bid when they shocked the visiting Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Closing as a 7.5-point underdog, the Knicks defeated the Magic by a score of 108-103.
Reasons To Back Cleveland
It was only 17 days ago that the Cavaliers hosted the Knicks and managed to defeat them by a pivotal three-pointer. Cleveland has the blueprint to beat this team, and that gives them an intangible to work in their favor. Furthermore, another key advantage Cleveland holds is in the turnover department which is instrumental in a game that is forecasted to be settled by a basket where every possession counts. Moreover, Cleveland has also had an extra day to prepare for this game which makes them the more rested team.
Reasons To Avoid New York
New York’s back-to-back upsets of San Antonio and Orlando has sparked an overreaction from the general public. This is evident in 73% of the consensus liking the Knicks here, something that we have not seen all too often this season and we can’t help but notice the timing of it all with respect to what they have pulled off as of recent. Preceding events set up New York backers here for a robust potential let-down, and we will have no part of that.
