- Cameron Payne, PG (OUT — ankle)
- Jalen Brunson, PG (OUT — ankle)

Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have overcome a tough stretch where they lost four games in a row to winning three of their last four matches moving them to 60 wins on the season.
While they still hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference, technically they haven’t cemented that position as the Celtics are four games behind them with the potential to usurp them if the Cavs go on another losing streak while the Bean Town crew keep winning.

Through this point in the season, Cleveland ranks first offensively (121.5) and eighth defensively (111.9) with a plus +9.7 net differential that ranks second overall.
Like their record, Cleveland’s performance against the spread is impressive posting a 44-30-1 record this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report

- Emoni Bates, F (questionable — ankle)
- Ty Jerome, SG (questionable — knee)

Free NBA Prediction:
Both clubs rank in the top five offensively while the defensive end will likely determine which club collects the “W”. More specifically whoever performs best on the glass and in transition defense will have the edge.
Notably, I’ve liked how the Knicks have played without Brunson as more players are getting touches making it harder to isolate on just one or two players for the opposition.
A major area the Knicks are trying to switch up is their record against the top Eastern teams (2-6 versus home-court seeds) and there’s no time like the present to send a message.
