New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Knicks are coming into this contest with a full squad, while the Hawks have ruled out Jock Landale once again. These teams have already clashed twice this season, with each team winning a game on the road. The Knicks are entering this contest with plenty of momentum and they looked great in their last two blowout victories, but the Hawks have been one of the hottest teams in the league and I think they’ll continue their impressive run with a win and cover at the short line in this spot.
Peter Tran's Pick: Atlanta -1.5
