New York Knicks (50-29) versus Cleveland Cavaliers (63-16) is an exciting Eastern Conference matchup on Friday Night at Madison Square Garden. Both sides have already confirmed their postseason spots, although the Knicks still have work to do to take the No. 3 seed. They are just two games above the Pacers, who are in great form after winning their last five assignments. Their rivals will definitely smell a golden chance if the Knicks lose to the Pistons and the Cavs.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, confirmed their No. 1 seed after defeating the Bulls 135-113 earlier in the week. This means Kenny Atkinson and his men can now afford to take things easy after an illustrious campaign that saw them blow out their opponents by big margins. However, the Cavaliers will also want to enter the playoffs in a winning form. Besides the Knicks, they play the Pacers twice in the remaining games. They are among the favorites to lift the championship.

Our New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Cleveland has been exceptional throughout the season, and we don't see them dropping a level in this game. They can effortlessly score points even when not at their best, as evident in their recent demolition of the Bulls. 

However, we don't expect them to overcommit anything in this matchup, opening an avenue for the Knicks to steal a win and put the No. 3 seed away from the Pacers' clutches. Still, the Knicks haven't been scoring many points lately, scoring an average of 114.9 in the last 10 matches. So, we expect the point total to go under. Our prediction for New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers: New York Knicks to win.

Prediction:

 

New York Knicks to win.
