Why The Knicks Could Cover The Spread

The Knicks were playing decent before their recent skid, so they will look to get back on track in this one. New York has slipped to the No. 11 seed in the East with the slide of late, so they will have a sense of urgency in this one, or at least they should. The Knicks are just three games back of the No. 7 spot and could make some serious ground with a run.

Why The Cavaliers Could Cover The Spread

Evan Mobley has continue his strong rookie season as the Cavaliers have continued winning despite injuries to Ricky Rubio and Collin Sexton. The Cavaliers are 29-14-3 against the spread this season and could be in shape for another cover and win on Monday night vs. the Knicks. Cleveland sits as the No. 5 seed in the East entering play on Monday night, going 7-3 across their last ten games.

Final Knicks-Cavaliers Prediction and Pick:

Take the Knicks and the points in this spot. This feels like a couple too many points for New York, who may be due for a win after losing three in a row last week. Cleveland may still pull out the win but this could be a close game that goes down to the wire.

Final Knicks-Cavaliers Prediction & Pick: Knicks +6.5 (-110)
