The rising Knicks (6–4) host the falling Cleveland Cavaliers (5–6) tonight in New York City. They clashed last week in Cleveland, when the Knicks rode two dominant middle quarters to victory, despite late efforts by Donovan Mitchell. Hat’s off to Spida for averaging 22.8 points and 5.5 assists per game while carrying an old bearded man on his back. Mitchell must think he’s in a Samuel Beckett play. His team has dropped five of their last seven and will once again be without the services of Sam Merrill.
New York is likely to regain Josh Hart, after missing games with a sore ankle and illness.
