Cleveland has moved up the defensive rankings since a poor start to the year, now 12th in the NBA in points allowed. They just held Washington to 89 points and 1-of-16 from long range, on the road! Cleveland is 21-7-1 UNDER the total playing on one days rest, as well as 12-5-1 UNDER against a team with a winning percentage below .400. They face the worst team in the East in New York, a group that just scored 87 in a home loss to Miami. And it won't take much to shut down the Knicks who are without Carmelo Anthony, out for the season following knee surgery. The Cavs are 22-6 UNDER the total when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Play this one UNDER the total.
