Cavaliers vs Knicks Recent Meetings
Prediction
The Cavaliers may have had their best chance to win this series on Tuesday slip away with an awful last eight minutes and overtime. The Knicks shook off the rust late enough to outscore Cleveland 41-11 down the stretch and now have all the momentum. I don’t know how the Cavs bounce back from that. The Knicks are the better team with the best player on the court – Jalen Brunson. I’ll lay the points again.
Pick: Knicks -6.5
