Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 29-19
The Cleveland Cavaliers remain in fifth place in the East, and they have a nice 4-game difference over the Heat. Still, they have not been as consistent as it seems, since they have only won 2 games in the last 5 they have played.Although only one game separates them from the 76ers, they have lost more and that is why they are below the leaders.
Darius Garland has been a great aid in the team’s offense. Indeed, against the Warriors, he scored 31 points and dished out 9 assists in what was one of his best games of the season. Also,against the Bucks, a game they won 102-114, he had a double-double of 21 points and 10 assists.
In that game, the one who came out on fire was Evan Mobley, who scored 38 points and pulled down 9 rebounds. He averages 15.1 points per game, but in that clash, he stepped onto the court ready to deliver his best performance of the season.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Regular Season Record: 25-22
The New York Knicks are still in the Play-In zone, but their idea is to qualify directly. Still, the team recorded three defeats in a row, which is not good for their goal. The loss against Atlanta by a 139-124 score was especially painful because the team did not play badly at all.
In that game, Julius Randle participated both defensively and offensively. He recorded 9 rebounds, and he scored 32 points. Immanuel Quickley came off the bench and contributed with 11 points. All the same, the whole team did not have a good fourth period and that’s where the Hawks took advantage.
Playing at home, they are not doing so well, as they have a 11-13 record, which is also not a good sign for a team that performs better playing away from Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have to start winning in the Big Apple, because the Hawks are already just one game behind.
JefeBet Prediction
This Cavaliers vs Knicks is the third game of the series between the two, and it could be the clash that makes a difference on the maker. Right now, they are even with a 1-1 record. The first game was won by Cleveland 121-108, and the second one was won by New York 92-81. The Cavs are 18-8 against opponents from their own conference, and they have been playing better. Taking this into account, we believe the visiting team will take the third game and tilt the series in their favor.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline.
