New York at Cleveland

Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled since the departure of LeBron James. They have a lot of young players on the team that tend to see them run hot and cold. Unfortunately, at 24-39 on the season, it has been mostly cold. The Cavs' young roster means that they also have a fragile ego at this stage of their NBA careers, and off of three losses by a combined 44 points, they are not in a healthy mental state to take on the Knicks here. They are also coming off a loss on the road last night, and have to play on no rest. The Knicks have had a disappointing season, but since breaking out of a six-game losing streak, they have won two straight. And a double-digit win has been a rallying point for this team, as they are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 following a 10+ point win. The Cavs' fragile egos have left them at 2-9 ATS in their last 11 after a loss. Make the play on New York.
