In the 2024-25 season, the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers are set to face each other four times. The Cavs have built a reputation for a strong defense and feature a potent young core of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen. The addition of a new, respected head coach has added even more rosiness to predictions for their upcoming season.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are also expected to top the defensive leaderboards, and they loaded more firepower into their arsenal this summer. With both teams in the playoff hunt and likely to finish among the top-six teams of the Eastern Conference, their four head-to-head matchups should deliver thrilling basketball entertainment.
