A season ago, the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers were two of the top dogs in the Eastern Conference. With injuries galore impacting other top competitors in the conference, the Knicks and Cavs should have the opportunity to accomplish what neither did a season ago: reach the NBA Finals.
Only one of these powerhouses can come out on top, though. Both teams, too, are facing serious injuries heading into the season. The Cavs will be without Darius Garland, while the Knicks will be without Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart.
Needless to say, this should be a thrilling matchup that gets fans excited for the upcoming season.
