Knicks vs. Hawks - Preview & Picks

What's up mf'ers

Both teams are coming off two days of rest, so I expect Trae and Hunter to play for Atlanta despite being questionable. The Spread of Knicks -6.5 leans towards them playing as well. 

Simply put, I love the Knicks here. They're coming off a bad loss to the Rockets on the road, so I assume Thibbs went to work on them dudes the last two days. The Knicks are a nightmare matchup for teams that lack multiple scorers. The Hawks will need a lights out game from Trae to even stick around here. 

Look for Brunson to have a breakout game here tonight as the Hawks have allowed the 2nd most points to PGs this season. Over their last four matchups, the Knicks are 3/4. Their only loss has come when Brunson DNP. Also, look for his Nova mate Josh Hart to have a big game as well. Atlanta gives up the most points & threes to SFs so far this year. Capela will have to handle KAT, which should give Hart some good scoring opportunities. 

Best Bets:

• Knicks -6.5
• Jalen Brunson Over 28.5 Points / Alt 30+
• Josh Hart Over 12.5 Points / Alt 15+
• Josh Hart Alt Over 8.5 Rebounds 

Leans:

• Dyson Daniels Over 2.5 Assists 
• Mikhail Bridges Over 4 Assists
