Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New York Knicks

Play: Total: 217.5/-110 Under
Knicks vs Cavaliers Under 217.5 We get Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals here, and MSG should be rocking. New York took the first two head-to-head contests in late 2025, and Cleveland won 109-94 back in February. Remember, the Knicks have had some time off after disposing of the Sixers in a 4-game sweep, so they have had some time off to prepare. The Knicks' average scoring margin over opponents in the first two rounds is 19.4 points, the highest through two rounds since 1984. We like the under here, however. We think defensive intensity will be paramount here in Game 1, with both teams trying to feel each other out, and the last 10 head-to-heads between these two teams have resulted in unders, and we think this game falls short of the total.
