While there's still teams fighting for spots in the playoffs with a few weeks to go in the 2022/23 NBA season, some teams have already locked their position in, with a mouth watering contest in the Eastern Conference already confirmed between the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks.

Unsurprisingly, the hype and talk about the series has already begun, and on Tuesday, NBA legend Jalen Rose officially declared that Cleveland will come away winners in this one, and after last weeks fun contest, it's clear that the biggest winners in this one will be the fans.

With the Donovan Mitchell factor and the Knicks 3-1 record against Cleveland this year, there's bound to be plenty of storylines for this one, and no matter who wins, it should be a very entertaining series between two young teams.
