NY +8.5
League: 19-11-2 (Av. loss 5.2) away 5+ dog, 1 day off 15+ ats loss as home 5+ fav. [NY]
12-3 (Av. WIN 0.5) if opp last away, and;
13-2-1 (Av. loss 2.7) if total 190+
Pretty scary backing the 'Knicks given their recent performances, but it's more a pick against Cleveland.
No-one who plays defense this bad should be favoured by this many points.
Over the last 5 games, the Cavs have allowed 99.8 ppg @ 50% shooting and 46.9% 3's!!
They only won last game @ Orlando thanks to 22 TO's by the Magic (+10), but still allowed 55.4% shooting!
NY blew a BIG lead last game, but Tim Thomas fouled out without scoring in 26 minutes!!, and Kurt Thomas played only 29 minutes because of foul trouble.
NY don't play a lot of D themselves, but they should be able to score enough to stay right in this one.
Good Luck all
