This neck-and-neck clash in the NBA will see fourth-place Cleveland hosts third-place New York at Rocket Arena on Tuesday evening. The Cavs are 36–22 on the season, while the Knicks are 37–21. Here is our prediction.
The Cleveland Cavaliers fell by eight points, losing 121–113 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last outing on Saturday. Saturday's defeat brought the Ohio-based franchise’s seven-game winning run to an end.
The five-time champions will look to exact revenge, having lost both of their meetings with the New York Knicks this season. They have won their last five home games and are 12–2 in their last 14 games overall.
The New York Knicks appear to have steadied their ship after a dragging win-loss cycle. They made it two wins in a row with a narrow 105–99 away victory over the Chicago Bulls in their last outing on Sunday evening.
The victory over the Chicago Bulls also saw the team rack up their sixth victory in seven road games. However, Mike Brown’s side are set for a tough night at Rocket Arena on Tuesday, having lost both of their recent trips to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
