T.M. Selection: New York

Even though the Knicks are in a B2B they did not to go too hard to beat the downtrodden 76ers last night. Also, though Karl-Anthony Towns was out, this likely had to do more with resting him for tonight's game so his knee could be as strong as possible for tonight's game. Brunson is still out but NY has been adjusting well in his absence. Even if Towns does not play here, the Knicks should stay within single digits here but I do expect KAT to be out there. New York is 5-1 L6 games and has "only the Hawks" on deck and I expect the Knicks A-game here! The Cavaliers are only 4-5 SU last 9 games and if you look at Cleveland's last 17 games, only 4 were wins by double digits. This is too many points as the Knicks are likely viewing this as a statement game and also they have double revenge here.

T.M. Prediction: 116-114 Cleveland
