    Why is New York only -3 against Cleveland?

    I know they're on a b2b which affects the line somewhat but I expected this line to be closer to -5

    Plus which this line will only make the Knick-friendly public love the Knicks even more and pound them more.

    Is this a public burial in the making?

    Knicks are 2-4 vs spread on road if they played night before

    Knicks are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss.

    Knicks are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

    Cavaliers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

    Cavaliers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games

    Knicks are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.

    Probably for these reasons.

    It's about right. They'd probably be -4 if it weren't for the b2b, and assuming home court is 2.5-3pts, this line would be NYK -9 or 10 in NY.

    ok fair enough. i remember milwaukee being favored by 4.5 in cleveland granted it was at a different time and probably not on a b2b so i figured the knicks would be in the -5 range...

    It does seem short but I think a lot of it has to do with the b2b, and it probably is a trap. If NYK were the play I'd imagine they'd be -4 even with the b2b. A lot of books were sitting at 2.5 up until just a couple hours ago.

    what an absolute horseshit way to lose there. oh well, still 2-1 on the day. at least it wasn't +3.5 or +4.5 would've probably lost it.

    no Dion no Zeller.... hahahaha!

    Cavs ....Knicks were just in bad mood mode first half playing no D after their choke vs Heat

    dumbass Cavs thinking that big goof would continue to hit shots after being 10/10 at half

    Knicks don't even need Carmelo
