LiontipsNew York Knicks - Cleveland Cavaliers NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
New York is now a team with character, but not without rough edges.: three defeats in the last five matches. On April 11, they fought to the last in a visit to Detroit, but lost — 106:115. The first quarter was theirs, and then it was as if someone had turned off the light. Karl-Anthony Towns is just a beast, he gave out a double-double (25 points, ten rebounds, five assists), a real leader. Precious Achiuva didn't let me down either — he had a double-double (18 points, ten rebounds, three assists). Miles Bridges added 17, Jaylen Brunson added 15, and Miles McBride added 12. Tom Thibodeau's team (50 wins, 30 losses) holds onto the third place in the East — firmly, confidently, with an eye on the playoffs.

The Knicks go into battle with full ammunition — all the leaders are as healthy as horses at the races and ready to tear up the parquet.

Deandre Hunter had a double-double (23 points, 11 rebounds, two assists), Craig Porter added 16, Sam Merrill - 15, Isaac Okoro - 13. Tristan Thompson became the king of rebounds — 12 pieces.

1.87Tip and bets
The bookies are betting on New York, and I'm with them. Cleveland has already taken the East, and the regular season as a whole has gone to Oklahoma — they can relax and play for their own pleasure. But the Knicks are another matter: third place is shaky, a step to the left and fourth, and there's a meat grinder waiting for the playoffs. At home, with the stands screaming themselves hoarse, Thibodeau will set the guys up for a fight. It won't be easy, but New York will gnaw out the victory — with sweat, with nerves, with the soul.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a head start (-6.5) points, including overtime in 1.71

Bet on the first half
New York has taken the first half in seven of the last nine games with Cleveland — they take off at the start like a rocket and immediately hit head-on. It's their style, their handwriting, and they'll start with a spark at home again. Expect sparks from the first minutes.
