Its a playoff rematch as the Knicks eliminated the Cavaliers in the first round last season in five games.
However, Cleveland has taken a huge step by moving into first place in the Central Division, while the Knicks are trying to fight off Philadelphia for second place in the Atlantic.
The Knicks stumbled through February by losing eight of their past 11 games, capped off by double-digit setbacks to the Pelicans and Warriors.
To make matters worse, New York has not done well against the point spread in this span.

Cleveland snapped a seven-game streak in which it failed to cover the spread by topping the Pistons, 110-100, on Friday as seven-point favorites.
Though the Cavs havent been great in that department lately, they continue to win games, going 21-6 since the start of January to pull atop the Central alongside Milwaukee.
