10* NBA Playoffs Game of the Week
(NBA) Atlanta vs. New York,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 New York (Home)
Result: Win
NY didn't play well in game 1 and only lost by 2 points.
I expect them to get to the FT line much more tonight. JULIUS
RANDLE was only 6-23 shooting so I expect a big bounce back game for him.

The Knicks have a legitimate home-court advantage at the Garden, and now that they have one game under their belt, this is as close to a must-win game as any before they head to Atlanta. But this game will come down to adjustments and shooting regression.


Although the Hawks have defended 3-pointers well all season, the Knicks have plenty of room for improvement considering Barrett and Randle — both 40%+ from 3-point range — combined for 3-of-12 beyond the arc as well.


I also expect a big game from RJ Barrett, who has averaged 19.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in four games against this Hawks team this season, and I expect the Knicks to bounce back and even this series.
