New York Knicks - Cleveland Cavaliers: betting tip and bets on the NBA match

Current form

New York burst into the season with a bright preseason, ending it with a 113-108 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. On the Knicks' home court, they immediately showed who was the boss, crushing the opponent in the first quarter. Jaylen Brunson, like a real conductor, tore through the defense, scoring 31 points, seven rebounds and six assists. This guy was everywhere: he threw from a distance, passed passes, collected rebounds.

Mikal Bridges (16 points) added balance by confidently working on both sides of the court. And this is despite the fact that New York played without Karl-Anthony Towns, Ogai Anunobi, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson. Injuries? It doesn't matter. Mike Brown's team showed that they can move the ball and attack from behind the arc, making 18 three-pointers out of 48 attempts. The result of the preseason is a confident first place in the Atlantic Division with a 4-1 record.
