The New York Knicks have one final chance to gain a regular-season victory over one of the two teams seeded ahead of them in the Eastern Conference when the Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers in their final home regular season game on Friday. The Knicks lost their previous three games to Cleveland, who has the best record in the East, and they are also 0-4 against the Celtics. The Knicks are 50-30, including 27-13 at home, and hold a one-game lead over the Pacers for the No. 3 seed with two games left. The Cavs are 63-17, including 29-11 on the road. Donovan Mitchell (ankle), De'Andre Hunter (rest) and Ty Jerome (knee) are out for Cleveland. Jalen Brunson (ankle), Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (thumb) are listed as questionable for New York.

Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET from Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are favored by 1 point in the latest Cavaliers vs. Knicks odds, according to the SportsLine consensus.
