Cleveland is resting starters down the stretch, but has the best bench in the league. They were a +10 underdog last night but lost just 114-112 at Indiana. They've won seven of 10 and rank 12th in the NBA in points given up and third in shooting allowed. New York is fighting for playoff positioning but has lost two in a row and three of five. The defense is 23rd in field goal shooting allowed and 26th in defending the 3-pointer. Both teams played last night, with the Knicks losing at Detroit, 115-106. The Knicks played without starters OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee), while All-Star guard Jalen Brunson hurt his left ankle. The Cavaliers are 3-0 against New York this season, winning 124-105, 142-105, and 110-104. Play Cleveland on the moneyline.
