The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Knicks look great heading into tonight's game. Karl-Anthony Towns went off for 28 points and 11 boards in their 105-99 victory over the Bulls, that's his 39th double-double this season.

Brunson is orchestrating the offense on an elite level, and the Knicks have a two-game winning streak as they face this tough road ‍challenge.

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Cavaliers are currently on a 2-1 record in their last three games. They destroyed the Nets 112-84 and beat the Hornets 118-113 in a close game before losing their last game - a 121-113 defeat to the Thunder.

Cleveland will typically win when they score well offensively; however, the loss to the Thunder showed a bit of a defensive weakness that the Knicks could take advantage of ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌tonight.
