Atlanta Hawks vs. New York Knicks Prediction

Right now, the Hawks are playing solid basketball. Atlanta has won six of its last ten games.
The Hawks believe they have enough talent to compete for a playoff spot this season. Atlanta will attempt to bounce back from a 141–111 blowout loss at home against the Nuggets their last time out.
Tonight would be a big win to keep their hopes of winning the NBA Cup alive.
Trae Young leads the Hawks with 20.9 points per game and 12.2 assists, leading the NBA. Young is questionable tonight. 22-year-old Jalen Johnson had enjoyed a strong year with 19.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. Former Virginia standout Deandre Hunter has averaged 19.3 points and 4.0 boards.
Atlanta has averaged 117.1 points per game.

After a busy off-season, New York entered the year as a championship contender.
The Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs but lost in seven games to the Indiana Pacers in the conference semi-finals. Anything less than an Eastern Conference finals appearance will be considered an unsuccessful year for New York.

The Knicks will advance to the NBA Cup Semifinals with a win tonight.
