The 2025 NBA season is here. The Knicks tip off against the Cavaliers for a 7:00 p.m. matchup from the Garden in a matchup of two teams that are considered Eastern Conference favorites this season. It will be Mike Brown’s first regular-season game leading the Knicks, who are hoping that the offense is faster and more free-flowing this year. New York will be without center Mitchell Robinson and guard Josh Hart, while Karl-Anthony Towns is expected to play despite his status fluctuating throughout the day. Will the Knicks make a statement against their Eastern Conference foe? Or will the Cavaliers have additional motivation after losing to New York in the playoffs?
