Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks head-to-head record
In their previous five matchups, the Cavaliers and Knicks were evenly matched, with Cleveland winning two and New York winning three. The Cavaliers' 110-104 victory in their most recent game on October 29th, 2024, demonstrated their ability to defeat the Knicks in close games. New York has, however, shown defensive tenacity in the past, keeping Cleveland below 100 points throughout the three of those meetings, including a resounding 109-91 victory on the first of November 2023. This game is expected to be another fiercely contested encounter because both teams are among the greatest offensive and defensive teams in the league. Cleveland may have the advantage because of their impressive record and present momentum, but New York's ability to keep the Cavaliers' scoring down in previous matchups points to a close game that may go either way.
