(NBA) Atlanta vs. New York,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 New York (Home)
Result: Loss
The NYK are being led with a balanced attack of Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Jalen Brunson who are all averaging 18 PPG. The Atlanta Hawks are at the end of a challenging five-game road trip. They have struggled in their last two games, losing by eight points to the Bucks, and were clobbered 139-109 against the Raptors on Monday night. Tonight, the Hawks are going to have trouble against an outstanding defense as the Knicks are limiting teams to only 107 PPG, ranking them 6th while the Hawks are conceding 110 so I expect the Knicks to out-rebound the Hawks as well with their size advantage. Atlanta has a negative rebounding margin and has been out-rebounded by a large margin in two straight games. The Knicks rank 2nd in NBA in rebounds per game. Look for the Knicks to stay undefeated at MSG and get another win on Wednesday night!
