The Cleveland Cavaliers need a win after losing five of their last six games.

The Knicks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Friday games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Friday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 8-1 in Knicks last 9 overall. The under is 10-1 in Cavaliers last 11 overall. The Knicks are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The New York Knicks have fallen apart over the last week, but they haven’t had the easiest schedule during this losing stretch. The Knicks are still a solid defensive club that has the ability to turn things around against lesser teams. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the team we all thought they’d be this season and the issues offensively are real. This is where the Knicks get back on track. I’ll lay the bucket.
