Best Bet of the Day 

NBA: New York Knicks -2.5 over Cleveland Cavaliers (-110, FanDuel)
7:30 pm ET, TNT

It’s a battle of 1-2 teams in Cleveland as the Knicks and Cavaliers meet for the first time this season. However, even though they have the same record, they haven’t been playing the same basketball. The Knicks lost a hard-fought battle in their series opener against the Celtics and followed that up with an offensive-shootout win against the Pelicans. That’s where the Knicks win streak ended though because a poor offensive performance against the Pelicans earned New York its second loss. They take on a Cleveland team that hasn’t been as impressive on the defensive side of the ball as many expected, so at just a few points, New York should be able to cover its small spread. Check out our full New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers predictions.
