Towns has recorded at least five assists in every game for the Knicks across their eight-game winning streak. He has 71 assists across 11 games in this playoff run, recording at least seven in three of his last four appearances.

The Knicks showed signs of rust after a week off, but they rallied from a 22-point deficit to force overtime against the Cavs in Game 1, running out 115-104 winners. The Knicks have now won their last eight games, and they meet a Cavs side that has lost seven of their last nine on the road. Game 1 looks like a missed opportunity for Cleveland, and the Knicks can cover as they pick up a 13th win in 15 home games.
