The 1-1 New York Knicks do battle against the 3-0 Cleveland Cavaliers for this Eastern Conference clash at Madison Square Garden. Let’s get into the match prediction for this meeting between two of the East’s best teams!
After losing their season opener to the Boston Celtics, the Knicks would respond with a dominant performance in a 123-98 win over the Pacers in their last outing. It was particularly impressive as the Pacers finished last year with the highest-scoring offense.
In that victory, New York held their opponents to just three of 30 shooting from three-point range. They’ll now try to make it two from two in front of their home fans in a building where they won 27 of 41 regular season contests.
The Cavaliers are off to a fantastic start and, along with defending champions Boston, are the only unbeaten team in the conference. Their most recent result saw them run out 135-116 winners over the Washington Wizards on the road on Saturday.
Cleveland enter Monday’s matchup as the highest scoring team in the NBA with 128.0 points per game on average. They also lead the league in field goal percentage (54.5%) and rank second in three-point percentage (43.7%).

Our New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Knicks have on both sides of the spectrum in their two games to start the season. They were comprehensively beaten by the Celtics in their opener before easily taking care of the Pacers in their second game. They did add some big new pieces in the offseason, so they might still be trying to adapt as they work to get everyone integrated.
A team that doesn't have that problem is the Cavaliers, who have a very similar roster to last season's. We could be in for a close game here. Our Cavaliers vs Knicks prediction: Cavaliers +3 point spread.
