76ers Playoff Watch: Knicks vs. Cavaliers Game 5 Odds & Prediction

As the Philadelphia 76ers sit back and continue waiting to find out who their next opponent in the 2023 NBA Playoffs will be, they’ll continue to pay close attention to a possible third-round opponent as six other Eastern Conference contenders continue to battle it out.

On Wednesday night, the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers will open up the slate. So far, this series has been lopsided in favor of the underdogs.

After a rather successful regular season run against the Cavaliers, the fifth-seeded Knicks stole Game 1 on the road against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

In the following game, the Cavs bounced back and evened the playing field, but they had a tough time on the road trip.

At Madison Square Garden, the Knicks took full advantage of having a hostile environment on their side. In Games 3 and 4, New York found success and defeated the Cavaliers in back-to-back matchups.

Heading back to Cleveland, the Cavs have their backs against the wall. With a 1-3 deficit, the Cavaliers are desperate to grab a win on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Knicks are looking to become the second Eastern Conference team to advance to the next round.
