While Cleveland’s opportunity to steal third place from Philadelphia hasn’t completely vanished, especially given its favorable final-week schedule, the most likely outcome is the Cavs claiming the fourth seed – and homecourt advantage in round one.

The Knicks are 2-1 against the Cavs this season. A Friday night victory would give them a tiebreaker that’s probably not going to matter because of Cleveland’s recent surge. But that reality doesn’t lower the anticipation. Or the meaning. With the regular season winding down, the Cavs are hitting their stride. They have won six of the last eight and 10 of 14. On Sunday night, they clinched their first playoff berth since 2018.
“You don’t just flip that switch when it comes playoff time,” Stevens said of that message. “Start to build those habits now and start to have those conversations now. You’re just playing as if every game is super important and you have goals you want to achieve within the next fives games and stuff you want to see improvements on that you think you will see in the playoffs.”
The anticipated showdown lost a bit of juice on Thursday afternoon when the injury report got released.
