New York's excellent defense at the rim and rebounding that can match Cleveland's is what gives the Cavs fits. Pointing to Cleveland's excellent home performance doesn't work because the Knicks on the road were among the toughest teams to beat. NY was

one of the best road cover teams in the NBA versus one of the best home cover teams in the NBA. 26-14-1 on the road for the Knicks ATS.
On the flip side the Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. Take the dog here with the Knicks.
