As the Cleveland Cavaliers get ready to host the Knicks at Rocket Arena, you’ve got a chance to capitalize on the chaos with the BetMGM bonus code ESNY1500. If you’re in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania (my people), or West Virginia, you can Bet $10 to get $150 in bonus bets if you win. For everyone else in legal states, you get a safety net with a First-Bet Offer up to $1,500.

BetMGM Bonus Code ESNY1500 for NBA: New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers

If you are in Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey, or West Virginia, you walk away with $150 in bonus bets with a $10 first bet win. Or, you can stick with the standard insurance offer.

For the rest of you across the map, the play is the First Bet Offer using code ESNY1500. This is your safety net. You place your first wager—up to $1,500—and if you brick it, BetMGM refunds your stake in bonus bets. Whether you think the Cavaliers are going to defend home court or you’re delusional enough to back the Knicks on the road, this offer lets you fire away with a little more confidence than usual.

New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Odds & Analysis

The books have the Cavs as the favorites here, which feels right considering how they’ve been playing at home. Here are the numbers you need to know before you lay down your cash.

Let’s look at the hard data, not the hype. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been absolute money at Rocket Arena lately, going a perfect 4-0 against the spread (ATS) in their last four home games as a favorite. They also seem to have the Knicks’ number, going 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Overall, Cleveland is 8-4 ATS in their last 12.

On the other side, much as it pains me to admit, the New York Knicks are tough outs on the road. They are 5-2 ATS in their last seven away games. Offensively, it’s a shootout waiting to happen—Cleveland is dropping 119.7 points per game at home, while the Knicks are averaging 117.5 on the road.

Injury-wise, it’s the usual attrition. The Cavs are missing Max Strus (foot), and the Knicks are without Miles McBride (ankle). With the total sitting at 232.5, keep in mind the over has hit in four of the Knicks’ last 13 games following a win. If you like offense, this might be your spot.
