The New York Knicks (6-10) meet up with the Cleveland Cavaliers (6-9) on Wednesday, and tipoff is currently scheduled for 7:00 PM ET.
The Knicks have gone just 3-4 away from New York this season, but Cleveland’s 2-3 record at home doesn’t instill much fear in visiting opponents either.
The home team has won 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings between these teams, and the Cavaliers have won outright 5 times during that span.
That being said, it might not be smart to count out the Knicks considering they were 123-107 winners as 12-point home favorites in the most recent clash. The over has been a profitable wager when these squads meet up and has taken the cash in 6 straight meetings.
The underdog has covered in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings, although Cleveland has been the team covering as an underdog in all 3 upsets.

The road-team Knicks opened up as 3-point favorites here but have been bet as low as -1.5 despite NBA bet-tracking websites showing that New York is garnering close to 80% of the action on the spread.
The total has also shifted quite a bit and currently sits at 195 after debuting at 197.5.
New York has been on quite a bad streak lately and heads into Wednesday’s game with 6 straight losses. They’ve covered the betting odds exactly 0 times during that stretch and have gone under the total in 8 of their last 10.
Cleveland has gone 3 straight losses while failing to cover the point spread, but also sit at a solid 8-7 against the odds on the year.
The Cavaliers don’t score a ton of points but their recent lack of defense has allowed 5 straight games to go over the total while Cleveland has allowed opponents to shoot nearly 50% during that span.
