T.M. Selection: Hawks/Knicks UNDER.

I am on the under in the Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks game on Saturday. The Hawks haven't been having a great year this year with a losing record and they have been healthy for a lot of their games too. They have not put up 100+ points in their 2 most recent games and there has been 1 team that hasn't reached 100+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. The Hawks have already been struggling this year and now they will be hindered even more here with a lot of their starters out for this game due to covid-19. The Hawks will not have a very strong team out on the court today and I expect them not to score as many points because of that. The Knicks have looked better in their games lately and I think they should be able to stop the Hawks with their defense in this game. The Knicks are also missing a few players for this game too. They will not be missing as many players as the Hawks are though and the Knicks still have a few of their starters healthy for this game. I think that the Knicks will be able to control the pace in this game and I expect them to pull away on a much weaker team here in the current situation and blow the Hawks out without letting them score a lot. The Knicks have not been that great at shooting in a lot of their games though and if they start missing their 3's a lot which they have been then they are not going to score a lot either. I don't think the Knicks are going to need to score a ton here to win this game so I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 99-87 Knicks.
