The New York Knicks will welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers to Madison Square Garden for an NBA game on Tuesday. The Knicks lost 125-116 in their last game over the Raptors. Pascal Siakam scored 24 points, Scottie Barnes had 19 and Precious Achiuwa added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who scored 26 points off 17 New York turnovers.
RJ Barrett scored 30 points and Julius Randle had 23 points and 19 rebounds as the Knicks lost their fourth straight. “There were stretches where we did good things,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We’re just not doing enough good things to win.” Jalen Brunson scored 21 points and Obi Toppin had 14, but the short-handed Knicks were without guard Immanuel Quickley (left knee) and center Mitchell Robinson.
“It’s tough,” Randle said of being without the injured pair. “They bring a lot to our team. They do a lot on both ends of the floor for us.” New York overcame a 17-point deficit to take the lead late in the third quarter. The game was tied to begin the fourth before the Raptors pulled away with an 11-0 run that saw Toronto score seven points at the free throw line. “We fouled, we gave up offensive rebounds, and we turned the ball over,” Thibodeau said of the decisive stretch. “That’s usually a recipe to get you beat.”
The Cavaliers on the other hand won 114-102 against the Bucks in their last game. The Cavaliers lost 120-114 to the Golden State Warriors Friday, losing outright as 10.5-point home favorites. Cleveland is on a 2-game losing skid but has covered the spread in 3 of its last 5 and is 23-21-3 against the spread (ATS) this season. The Cavs are No. 1 in opponents’ points per game (107.4). The Cavaliers have the Eastern Conference’s best home record at 19-5.
They also have the length in F Evan Mobley and C Jarrett Allen to tame how effective Antetokounmpo is at attacking the glass. The Cavaliers are 23-24 O/U this season with the Bucks 22-23 O/U. Cleveland just allowed 120 points to the Warriors without G Stephen Curry and has gone Over in 4 of its last 6 games, so despite a strong defense, betting the Over recently has been profitable.
