The Cleveland Cavaliers will travel to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks in the NBA on Wednesday. The Knicks beat this opponent last week in Cleveland, and our prediction is that they will come out on top in this one as well.
The New York Knicks are enjoying a nice run of form, now eyeing a fifth consecutive victory after stomping the Milwaukee Bucks 117-85 at this venue last night.
Jalen Brunson led the team with 23 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns put up 21 and 16 rebounds. The Knicks dominated the glass, grabbing 59 rebounds to the Bucks’ 32.
The Knicks are third in defensive efficiency this season and 15th on offence. Josh Hart is listed as questionable for the home side.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are struggling for form right now. They’ve lost four of their last five games, including a third in a row against the Hornets 124-112 on Monday.
One of the main contributors to the Cavs' loss last time out was allowing the Hornets to make 23 of their 46 three-point attempts. Meleek Thomas led the team with 18 points, and Peyton Watson added 13.
Cleveland are 10th in offensive efficiency and 16th on the defensive end. Sam Merrill and Nae’Qwan Tomlin are out, while Jaylon Tyson is a doubt for the visitors.
