Today in the NBA, the Cavaliers welcome the Knicks in what should be an entertaining match at the Quicken Loans Arena. If you plan to watch Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Cleveland vs New York match preview.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks
The Cavaliers go into this one with a 27% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the New York Knicks. Byron Scott will be sure to keep an eye on the New York streak (L 2), but the key against Knicks will be containing Amar’e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Danilo Gallinari. The Cavaliers point differential is -9.5 this season (good for number 30 in the NBA), but not as good as the New York Knicks’s average winning margin of 1 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Knicks will need to play to their strengths and their 9 3 point field goals made per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Mike D’Antoni’s team is 16-11 this season and today will hope to improve their 10-4 record away from Madison Square Garden.
Cleveland have been dominating their opponents this season in the personal fouls departement, with a -1.3 personal fouls differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 12.7 turnovers average per game is 3rd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Mike D’Antoni and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Cavaliers’ 4-7 home record.The fans in the Quicken Loans Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Cavaliers vs Knicks online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:30 ET today.
