Stan Son takes a look at the opening odds and spread for Game 1 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Playoffs.
While the Western Conference side of the playoff bracket turned up chalk, the Eastern Conference was quite the spectacle. The two-seed Boston Celtics were knocked out in the first round while the top-seed Detroit Pistons were down 3-1 in their first round series before winning three straight to advance. Unfortunately, after going up 2-0 in the series with Cleveland, the Cavaliers were able to win Game 7 in Detroit to advance.
That leaves us with the four-seed Cavaliers and the three-seed New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
With the matchup set, DraftKings Sportsbook has listed opening odds for Game 1 of this series, which takes place Tuesday at 8 pm EDT. The Knicks enter as 7.5-point favorites with -265 odds to win on the moneyline. The Cavaliers are +215 underdogs with the game total set at 215.5 combined points.

During the regular season, these teams met three times, with the Knicks going 2-1. James Harden played in only one of those contests, and that happened to be in the lone win. The home teams were 3-0 in the series.
New York had the fourth-best offensive rating during the regular season and the seventh-best defense. Cleveland was sixth on offense and 15th on defense.
