Advice and prediction
I’m not sure why, exactly, the Atlanta Hawks are favored here. Adjusted net rating suggests the Hawks are the better team, but Atlanta has also been mired in an awful stretch of basketball, and has already lost once this season at home against the Knicks (by five, 113-108), in a game where Trae Young posted 31 points and 14 assists.
Mitchell Robinson will be missed, but Nerlens Noel is a capable replacement in the paint for New York, and this defense just held the Rockets to 99 points without Robinson. Take the Knicks moneyline (+105).
Prediction: Knicks 111, Hawks 105
