Cavaliers vs. Knicks Game 5 Analysis

The Knicks scored a series-high 102 points in their victory over the Cavs in Game 4, led by Brunson with 29 points and Barrett with 26. Josh Hart filled in for Grimes in the starting five, posting 19 points with 7 rebounds and 2 assists in his 39 minutes.

The Cavaliers’ championship odds on numberFire have dropped to 4.7% with their current two-game deficit, but the team will play Games 5 and 6 of the series at home, where they posted a 31-10 record in the regular season (compared to their 20-21 record on the road). They’ll need more from Mitchell, who averaged 28.3 points per game this season, than the 11 points he managed in Game 4.

This series has been a defensive struggle so far. Cleveland’s 94.0 points per game are the second-fewest in the playoffs so far, while New York’s 98.0 points per game rank just ahead of Cleveland as the third-fewest. Fittingly, the 202.5-point over/under for this game is the lowest of any game on Wednesday’s slate by almost 20 points.
