My Prediction
Cleveland Cavaliers by 8So, let's jump into it. We've got the New York Knicks going head to head with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks have powerhouse players Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns throwing some impressive numbers out there. Brunson's been netting 31.7 points per game in the last month and Towns has consistently pulled down double digit rebounds. Don't forget OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges, who've been lighting up the scoreboard.
Over at Cleveland, we have a squad that is no laughing matter either. Donovan Mitchell with steady as a rock stats, averaging 22.5 points per game for the month. Evan Mobley has proven to be a reliable rebounder and scorer with an impressive 18.3 points per game, and who could ignore Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. These boys aren't playing around.
Looking back at the past clashes between these two teams, the Cavaliers have been the dominant force, notably thrashing the Knicks 142 to 105 back in Feb 2025, that's a memory that'll stick. The regular season record suggests the Cavs are in a better position too, with an outstanding 60-15 record compared to the Knicks' respectable but lesser 47-27.
Presently, the Cavaliers hold the prestigious #1 position in the Eastern Conference, a spot above the Knicks who sit in third. Both teams come into this game off the back of victories, but the Knicks had a significant blow out win against Philadelphia, which could boost their morale for this upcoming matchup.
Now, hold onto your hats, here comes the prediction and remember, I'm never wrong, just occasionally off by a few points.
