Cavaliers at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 113, Cavs 108
Moneyline
PASS.
As -250 home favorites, there is not much profit to be made betting on the Knicks. They dominated the Cavaliers Tuesday and are expected to win again against this Cavs team that is looking to avoid a 3-game skid.
Against the spread
BET CAVS +6.5 (-110).
While Cleveland has not been playing well as of late, losing its last 2 games by double-digits, it has played well on the road this season. Tuesday was a fluke shooting for the team with just 39% from the field and 26% from 3, while they average 42.6% and 32.5%, respectively, this season. With a possible 3-game losing streak in sight, the Cavs will come out firing. Their sole win this season came in their only road game.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 210.5 (-115).
Each game this season, except Tuesday’s, has gone over the 210 mark for the Cavs, while 2 of the Knicks 4 games has done the same. The Knicks have had 4 different leading scorers in their 4 games, pointing towards the fact any player has the ability to score the ball.
As it stands, this point total will be the lowest for either team this far in the season.
