Atlanta Hawks

Knicks vs Hawks Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
ATL Hawks Win(-105)

The New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks will play a pivotal Game 3 in their Eastern Conference first-round series on Thursday night in Atlanta. They split the first 2 meetings in New York, so the Hawks now have home-court advantage. They also have the momentum, having taken Game 2 via a 107-106 decision on Monday. The Knicks certainly can’t be happy with a split — especially not after they took the series opener and then led by double-digits in the 4th quarter of Game 2 before collapsing. With the underdogs riding high and heading back to Atlanta, my Knicks vs Hawks pick is the home side on the money line.

Atlanta finds itself at 1-1 and there is still plenty of room for improvement, so that is an encouraging sign moving forward. The visitors stole Game 2 inside Madison Square Garden, even though they went 9-for-30 from three-point range and lost the rebounding battle by 11. Such long-distance futility cannot be expected again, and — although the Hawks probably won’t out-rebound the Knicks — they shouldn’t get manhandled by double-digits on the boards. Moreover, New York attempted 15 more free throws than Atlanta over the first 2 contests. That isn’t a surprise with home cooking for the Knicks in MSG, but it likely won’t be the case in ATL.

Although the Hawks are nothing special at home, the Knicks went 22-19 on the road during the regular season compared to 30-10 in New York. It’s also worth noting that Atlanta guard CJ McCollum (32 points in Game 2) has scored at least 26 points in 3 straight games dating back to the regular-season finale. Give me the Hawks to keep their momentum rolling.

Knicks vs Hawks prediction: Atlanta Hawks ML (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable at that price.
