New York is coming off a convincing 105-91 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, while Cleveland is riding momentum from a recent 127-122 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

“Cleveland has championship aspirations this season,” remarked a league analyst. “Their strong home record and the backing of their fanbase make them a tough opponent.”

Mitchell averages a team-high 24.0 points per game, along with 4.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds, paired with Darius Garland’s 20.6 points and 6.7 assists. On the other hand, the Knicks are leaning on forward Karl-Anthony Towns, who is in his first year with New York and has averaged 24.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
