Cavaliers vs. Knicks Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Tuesday, February 24

Two of the league’s premier scorers square off Tuesday night when Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers host Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks. Mitchell enters ranked seventh in the NBA at 28.6 points per game, while Brunson sits ninth at 26.8.

Cleveland, 36‑22, has surged behind its offensive firepower, while New York, 37‑21, has leaned on balanced scoring and stout defense. Oddsmakers have installed the Cavaliers as 4‑point favorites, with a total of 230.5.

Cleveland has thrived as a favorite, winning 65% of games in that role, while New York has struggled as an underdog, winning just three of ten such contests. The Knicks, however, have won the last two head‑to‑head matchups, making this a compelling clash of styles.

With both teams averaging a combined 237.2 points per game, the over looks live, but Cleveland’s home‑court advantage and Mitchell’s scoring prowess may tilt the balance.

Best Bet for Cavaliers vs. Knicks

Best Bet: Knicks +4 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook

The Knicks have had Cleveland’s number recently, winning two straight head‑to‑head matchups. While the Cavaliers are strong offensively, their ATS record as favorites of 4+ points (13‑25) is concerning. New York’s defense, ranked seventh in points allowed (111.8), gives them a chance to keep this close.

Brunson’s ability to control tempo and Karl‑Anthony Towns’ rebounding presence provide balance against Cleveland’s high‑octane attack. The total of 230.5 leans toward the over, given both teams’ combined scoring average of 237.2, but the safer play is backing New York to cover.

Cleveland may win outright, but the Knicks’ recent form and ATS resilience make them the best bet at +4.
