The reigning NBA champions are playing like champions, having won their last four games, one of them against the Cavaliers, whom they will face on Wednesday. They will play on consecutive days after Tuesday's 117-85 rout of the Bucks at Madison Square Garden.
This season, when the Knicks win, they win by a landslide, averaging 17.8 points. Jalen Brunson scored 23 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 and grabbed 16 rebounds in their last victory against Milwaukee. Annoby also sank five three-pointers; the bench has also stepped up, and the champions have bounced back from their 0-3 start.
The Cavaliers are currently 1-4 in November. They recently lost to the Hornets in a game where Cleveland was an 8.5-point favorite in the pregame betting odds. It was a game the Cavs were losing by 33 points in the third quarter, so coach Kenny Atkinson brought in his reserves for the final 12 minutes.

Our New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
While the Knicks looked more than comfortable in their victory against the Cavaliers, the Cavs had a lackluster defensive performance. In their last game against Charlotte, they allowed opponents to make half of their three-point attempts and were out-rebounded 49-32.
In any case, in betting terms, it looks like a good opportunity to take the Knicks' 4.5-point spread, since Cleveland has a record of holding the spread at 3-8-0.
Our prediction for the Knicks vs Cavaliers is: Knicks -4.5.
