New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Pick – 4/2/2025

On April 2, 2025, the New York Knicks will face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a highly anticipated matchup at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The game is set to tip off at 7:00 PM ET, and the Cavaliers enter as significant favorites with a spread of -10.5.

Cleveland boasts an impressive record of 60-15, having won 39 of their last 50 games. They come into this contest well-rested, having last played three days ago, which could provide them with a crucial advantage. In their previous outing, the Cavaliers edged out the LA Clippers 127-122, showcasing their offensive firepower.

On the other hand, the Knicks, with a record of 48-27, are facing a tough challenge as they play their second game in as many nights. New York played yesterday and secured a victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, winning 105-91. However, the lack of rest may hinder their performance against a well-rested Cavaliers squad. The Knicks have been playing solid basketball lately, winning 33 of their last 50 games, but their chances of pulling off an upset are slim, reflected in their implied win probability of 19% compared to the Cavaliers’ 81%.

For those considering player prop bets, attention should be given to Karl-Anthony Towns's Points and Assists, which has emerged as a popular betting market. Sharp bettors are leaning towards the Over on Towns's current line of 26.5 Points and Assists at -105, indicating they believe this line may be mispriced.
