The Cavaliers are 4th in turnover percentage. Their Achilles heel was pushing misses on threes, opponents shot 36.8% against them, which was 23rd in the league. Surprisingly, the Knicks had higher shooting numbers against Cleveland this campaign than their season averages. Most of the time, the Cavaliers were the ones doing the shutting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of offense, the Cavaliers didn\u2019t slack too, they finished 8th in offensive rating. 9th in effective goal percentage, took the lead as fifth-bets shooting percentage at the rim, 66.1%. They guarded the ball well too, ending the season 9th in turnover percentage. Donovan Mitchell is the name on everyone\u2019s lips and he\u2019s dealt with New York recently. The last 6 times he faced the Knicks, he averaged 32.5 points with 7.0 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cavaliers had the second-best net rating in the NBA this season, and most of the destruction happened at home.

Cleveland has a home-court advantage this season, so, winning all their home games should do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darius Garland, Caris LeVert, and Donovan Mitchell were absent from games towards the end of the season, but as a precautionary measure. Three of them should be gracing the courts today. It isn\u2019t certain if Isaac Okoro will be joining, although reports say he\u2019s headed in the right direction.

Their net rating in road contests was +1.6, 5th in the league. One of their away wins was courtesy of Cleveland on March 31, the last time they played the Cavs. In Julius Randle\u2019s absence, New York won 130-116.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Randle\u2019s health is perhaps the biggest news for the Knicks. He was supposed to play all 82 games before he sprained his ankle against Miami Heat on March 29. While Randle has been practising, he\u2019s faced limitations, not participating in any contact activities. He was an All-Star this season, heading New York in scoring and rebounding,\u00a0 The team scaled through the season without his 25.1 points and 10.0 boards per game, but they won\u2019t have the same luck postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Brunson ended the season too with an injury but showed that a right-hand sprain won\u2019t hinder him at all. Brunson is a left-handed shooter, so this won\u2019t affect him. The Knicks will need him in shape the same way he was in last year\u2019s playoffs, to lead an offense that is 4th in offensive rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Knicks&#8217; successful offense wasn\u2019t born out of shooting efficiency. Instead, they thrived by limiting turnovers (5th in turnover percentage), frequenting the free throw line (8th in free throw rate), and grabbing offensive boards (second in offensive rebounding percentage). New York has an iso-heavy offense, with the fewest assist percentage in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York dwindled on defense, especially with them ending 19th in defensive rating. Rebounding and forcing misses, particularly at the rim, are the Knicks&#8217; strong suits on the defensive end of the floor. But, they allow too many threes and don\u2019t force turnovers. In the four meetings, they held the Cavaliers to 105.3 points per game on 44.6% shooting from the field, both well below the Cavaliers\u2019 season average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>MatchPlug Prediction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s game between the Cavaliers and Knicks should be a tight one.
