Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks Key Stats
The Atlanta Hawks have taken care of business against the teams they were expected to so far this season. However, they have fallen apart against the top tier teams in the East. In fact, the Hawks have lost to every team that is .500 or better so far.
Dejounte Murray hasn't caused the extreme jump in offensive quality that everybody expected, but it's still too early to assume it won't get there. Atlanta's offense is still fueled by Trae Young's shooting and Murray has been more of a defensive counter for Young's liability.
The Hawks' defense has drastically improved with the new pieces, but their rebounding and offense have been questionable. Until they are fully sorted on both sides of the ball, capable teams will take advantage of their vulnerabilities.
The Knicks have also picked up losses against top tier teams and have had a tougher schedule to start the season than the Hawks.
New York's offense has shown some improvement so far, averaging 117 points per game. Their 3-point shooting has been a real concern, but their defense has been fantastic and helped make up for it.
The Knicks are undefeated in the Garden this season and are 2-1 against the spread at home. Conversely, the Hawks are 1-3 against the spread on the road.
Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Betting Prediction
We can always count on Trae Young to give an electrifying performance against the Knicks, especially at Madison Square Garden. Young is coming off a tough night of shooting and is due to explode, so expect another big game.
The Hawks overall, however, will be a couple of steps behind with a shorter rotation and often allow the lead to change hands back and forth for four quarters. New York has been strong at home and will be backed to win this game.
Prediction: New York Knicks -1.5 (-112), Under 228.5 (-110)
