Our New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Cleveland is the short underdog in this game, but looks to be a solid betting option. The Cavaliers are dealing with some injuries to start the season, that being De’Andre Hunter and Darius Garland.

The Cavaliers swept the Knicks in the regular season last year, winning these four games by an average margin of 17 points per game.
The start of a new season can always take time for teams to get up to speed; however, because the Cavs dominated the Knicks in their recent meetings, our New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is: Cleveland Cavaliers +2.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
