The New York Knicks have shown strong performance this season, with a regular season record of 20 wins and 9 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, with a win rate of 69.0%. Their overall offensive performance is good, averaging 120.1 points per game, and their defense is also relatively stable, allowing only 112.9 points per game, resulting in a net scoring difference of 7.2 points. The Knicks' recent form is good, winning four of their last six games, averaging 117.7 points per game on offense, while limiting their opponents to around 115 points on defense, showing an overall balanced state. Their home performance is particularly outstanding, winning 15 of their last 17 home games, with an average of 123.4 points per game, their offensive firepower is stronger than on the road, with a stable win rate of 88.2%. They are coming off a losing streak and are now ending it, with their morale recovering. On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers, though currently ninth in the Eastern Conference, have not been significantly worse overall this season. The team currently has 17 wins and 14 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference, and still has some advantage in home games, winning 11 of their last 19 home games, including two recent consecutive wins. However, their away performance is somewhat weak, winning only 6 of 12 away games, and their defensive intensity has decreased, with an average of 120.5 points allowed per game, which is 5 points higher than at home. In the last six encounters, both sides have won three games, but the Cavaliers have often been in trouble in past encounters, especially in away games, where they have shown instability, needing to improve their offensive and defensive efficiency when facing stronger opponents. This time facing the Knicks, the Cavaliers, aiming to return to good form, must be more focused, optimize their defensive strategy, and pay sufficient attention to rebounding.
