Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Predictions: A Showdown of Defensive Prowess and Series Trends

The New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers have faced off in a series of closely contested games throughout the season, with the Knicks emerging victorious in six of their eight encounters. With the Knicks being one of the stronger road teams and already securing a win in Cleveland this postseason, confidence is high for the New York team as they look to close out the series.

Cavaliers’ Struggling Offense

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had difficulty winning the battle inside, with key players Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley failing to score more than 14 points in any game. This has placed more scoring responsibility on the guards, and with Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell unable to both reach 20 or more points in the same game, the Cavaliers’ offense is struggling.

In fact, they hold the worst offensive rating of all teams in this postseason and have only surpassed the 100-point mark once in four games. If the Knicks can maintain a tight defense, the visitors should have the advantage in this matchup.

The Low-Scoring Trend Continues

Every game in the series so far has stayed under the 202-point mark, making it hard to ignore the trend of low-scoring games. Both teams have played at a slow pace this postseason, ranking near the bottom in terms of tempo. The Cavaliers’ top defensive rating during the regular season, combined with Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau’s defensive expertise, contribute to the low-scoring nature of the series.

The Knicks have displayed exceptional defensive discipline, ranking fourth among playoff teams in opponent fast break points per game and sixth in opponent second chance points. By continuing to limit easy scores for the Cavaliers, the Knicks should be able to keep the game low-scoring and maintain their advantage.
