After their Game 7 blowout win, the Cavaliers will play the Knicks, who have been resting for a week after their sweep, for King of the East.

Here are the key battlegrounds in the series:

  • Corner 3s: The Knicks should get plenty of opportunity to take these, and they’ll need to continue knocking them down at 40%+

  • Time of Possession: The Knicks take their time in the halfcourt, while Cleveland speeds up their opponents. We’ll see who forces the other to play their game.

  • Isolation: The Cavs (Donovan Mitchell, James Harden) are one of the best isolation teams while the Knicks (OG Anunoby, Josh Hart) are one of the best teams at defending isos

  • Shot Quality: Cleveland should be able to get good looks, but we’ll see if they can make enough of them
