Command Analysis

Cleveland Cavaliers

Current form
Cleveland is on a wave of success right now, having won four of the last five games. In the last meeting, on March 30, the Cavaliers beat the Clippers 127-122 on their floor. And, please note, they won only two quarters — but they were exactly the right ones. Jarrett Allen scored a double—double (25 points, 12 rebounds, three assists) in the main role. He is followed by Donovan Mitchell with 24 points. But Evan Mobley (22 points), Darius Garland (19), and Isaac Okoro (11) were nearby. In general, the team shows stability and confidence. The Cavaliers lead the Eastern Conference with 60 wins and 15 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cleveland is almost at full strength and ready to give the heat. In the infirmary, only Ty Jerome is a rotation player, but not a key one. So the owners don't have any special problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Cavaliers are averaging 102 points against the Knicks (data from the last ten games).
Approximate composition: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Stras, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen.

New York Knicks

Current form
New York is in good shape too, with six wins in seven matches. In the last match on April 2, the Knicks defeated Philadelphia at home — 105:91. We lost only one quarter, but it turned out to be insignificant. The points leader is O.J. Anunobi (27), followed by Landry Chamet (20), then Mikal Bridges (14) and Dillon Wright (12). In addition, Mitchell Robinson scored a double-double (14 points, 14 rebounds). Tom Thibodeau's team is in third place in the Eastern Conference with 48 wins and 27 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries
But that's where the Knicks have a problem: Jaylen Brunson and Miles McBride are injured, and the bench doesn't look its best. However, the main thing is that Karl—Anthony Towns is close to returning. This could be a key moment.

1.87Tip and bets
Both teams have already secured a place in the playoffs, but Cleveland continues to fight to win the regular season. Bookmakers do not believe in the success of the guests, and it is difficult to disagree with this. The Cavaliers had four days to prepare, while the Knicks flew to Ohio almost immediately after the game with Philadelphia.
Our prediction: Cleveland wins by a head start (-8.5) points, including overtime in 1.71
Bet on the total
Personal meetings between these teams are usually not very productive — the average for the last ten matches is 205 points. However, in February, Cleveland unexpectedly defeated New York with a score of 142:106. This time we are waiting for a more attacking game.
Our betting tip: the total is more than 231.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
Bet on the first half
In six of the last eight games against the Cavaliers, the Knicks have won the first half. However, now is the time for the owners to correct the statistics. Taking into account the injuries of the guests, Cleveland will set the pace from the first minutes and go ahead in the score.
Our betting tip: Cleveland wins in the first half in 1.35
