I see the Hawks coming out aggressive in full attack mode after settling for too many outside shots in a 101-92 road loss to the Knicks this past Wednesday.
Atlanta is much stronger at home. The Hawks shoot 47.5 from the floor and 38.4 percent from 3-point range at home compared to 46 percent and 36.2 percent on the road. The Hawks are averaging 123.8 points during their last six home games. They didn't face defenses as tough as the Knicks, but still that's an impressive recent figure.
Trae Young is shooting 51 percent from the floor, averaging 31 points in the series. The Knicks haven't been able to slow him down. Young also is averaging 8.5 assists.
Julius Randle, on the other hand, is having a bad series and due for a breakout game. The Knicks shot only 38 percent from the floor two days ago yet still managed to score 101 points. The tempo should pick up with the change in venue and so should Randle's 28 percent field goal shooting accuracy.
