Cleveland at New York

The NY Knicks just carved up the failing Chicago Bulls in a home-and-home series. Things will be different tonight as they host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland is leading the surging Toronto Raptors by just 2.5 games for the best overall mark in the Eastern Conference, so they can't toy around with this game. I expect them to come out to dismantle a rather mediocre Knick's team that has come off the rails at 8-22 in their last 30 games. The Cavs have beaten the Knicks in all three meetings this season, and perhaps the most telling part of the three wins is that the Knicks have failed to score more than 86 points in any of them. The fact is that over the last two years and six games, the Knicks average just 86.5 points per game against Cleveland. This game also fits a situation that is 71-30 ATS, including 14-5 ATS this year. Lay the lumber and play on Cleveland.
