Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks Betting Picks
This is an interesting game, but a little difficult. What has changed from 24 hours ago? The Cavaliers are beat up. If this was a back-to-back with all the healthy bodies for both NBA teams, then it may be a different story. But, too many injuries and even the injury to their best player in Mitchell is never a good thing.
Donovan Mitchell does love New York City, but not this time. He is too beat up to run the Knicks on their home floor. The Knicks are going to win this game and cover. When looking at the final Cavaliers vs Knicks Odds, bet the New York Knicks -6.5 at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Best of luck with all your NBA Picks for 2023-2024!
