"New head coach Mike Brown and the New York Knicks are set to open the season tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:10 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks open the season with the second-best odds to represent the Eastern Conference at the NBA's final series in June. However, before those potential playoff tests come, an 82-game basketball gauntlet gets underway with the first game of the 2025-26 season tipping off between the Knicks and the Cavaliers inside the World's Most Famous Arena"
"For the second straight season, Cleveland was dispatched by the Eastern Conference representative in the NBA Finals after a five-game series loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Conference Semifinals. The Cavaliers bring a familiar looking roster into 2025-26, headlined by Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Donovan Mitchell. Garland is listed as out with a toe injury ahead of the season opener against the Knicks."
The New York Knicks open the 2025-26 season at Madison Square Garden against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff. New head coach Mike Brown will lead a veteran-heavy roster featuring Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges, with Malcolm Brogdon and Guerschon Yabusele added for bench depth. The Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024-25 and replaced Tom Thibodeau in the offseason. Cleveland returns core players Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Donovan Mitchell, though Garland is listed out with a toe injury for the opener. Betting lines give Cleveland a narrow edge.
