  • New York Knicks won 126-124 when the two teams last met on December 25

New York Knicks Form

New York head to Cleveland having won 12 of their previous 15 games, and each of the last two.

The Knicks enjoyed an eight-game win streak between January 21 and February 4, which was finally ended by a 118-80 blowout defeat in Detroit.

They rebounded with a 111-89 success in Boston, and then answered a 137-134 overtime defeat at home to Indiana with a 138-89 demolition of Philadelphia on the road.

New York again failed to make it back-to-back wins as they lost 126-111 to Detroit, but they have not tasted defeat since then.

The Knicks bounced back by beating Houston 108-106 at home, and then followed that up with a 105-99 success in Chicago.

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland enter this matchup having just seen a seven-game win streak end, but in tremendous form with 12 wins in their last 14 games.

The Cavaliers went on a five-game win streak in late January, only to end the month with a 126-113 defeat in Phoenix.

They rallied on the road though, beating Portland 130-111, the LA Clippers 124-91, Sacramento 132-126 and Denver 119-117.

Cleveland then returned home and extended their win streak as they downed Washington, 138-113, and Brooklyn, 112-84.

The Cavaliers made it seven-in-a-row in Charlotte as they beat the Hornets 118-113, only to see their streak finally end on Sunday as they fell 121-113 at Oklahoma City.

Verdict

Cleveland have been on a role and just picked up James Harden, but their record against New York this season is ugly.

The Knicks won both of the previous two meetings and they are in decent form themselves, so give us the visitors and the free points.
