Cleveland at New York

At 17-5, the high-flying Knicks look to be a force to be reckoned with in the East. They have produced a 9-0 start on the home hardwood, but could be in a big flat spot tonight. The Knicks have been known to mail it in at times vs. bad teams. Off of five straight contests vs. the Lakers, Nets, Nuggets, Heat, and Bulls, I could see them losing interest here, and ending up in a game. The Cavaliers have been inept since LeBron left town and are a woeful 5-19 to start the season. They have stayed in games when they have been at their biggest disadvantage with a 3-1 ATS mark as a dog of +8 or more. That dog mark kind of sets up as a game where the Knicks have been known to show their ugly side. Take Cleveland and the points.
