Priced at the Canadian books, the Knicks are about a 64 per cent chance.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland&#8217;s offence is eighth and its shooting numbers are better, so a fit Allen and a home crowd that has seen the Cavaliers win three of four at Rocket Arena could be enough to swing a game we expect to be decided by a few possessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our pick: the Knicks to win.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What would change it: if Allen were cleared and Brunson limited, we would switch to Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>For how both measure up across the league, see the <a href=\"\/ca\/nba\/power-rankings\/\">NBA power rankings<\/a>.
