The Cleveland Cavaliers stopped my heater dead in its tracks on Saturday, as they most definitely didn’t beat the New York Knicks and cover the spread. Do I give them another shot tomorrow? Here are your NBA Playoffs predictions and preview for Monday, May 25th.
NBA Playoffs Predictions & Preview For Monday, May 25th
New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The New York Knicks are the runaway freight train of these NBA Playoffs, currently riding a ten-game winning streak. What’s even more impressive, only one of those victories was within the single-digit range. They are blowing the doors off teams.
So, despite playing at home, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have a tall task tomorrow night trying to avoid being swept out of the playoffs by the rampaging Knicks. And the Cavs are a tough team to put a lot of faith in, with lead horses Donovan Mitchell and James Harden both having more turnovers than assists, to go along with streaky shooting.
Yet…. I always say I have to trust my numbers because they’ve carried me to a profit all season long (as well as last season), so I’m going to heed my advice and do just that tomorrow night. My line is Cleveland -2.5, so getting them as a 2.5-point dog works for me. Don’t let me down again, Cavs.
Best Bet: Cleveland +2.5 (-103)
2025/6 Overall Record: 215-172 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $2,213.04
Return on Investment: 6%
