LiontipsNew York vs Atlanta, Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Now it is obvious that signing of Tom Thibodeau as team's new head coach was a great decision. This specialist managed to build a great team. Despite the lack of star players in the roster, New York put up a wonderful season, finishing 4th in the Eastern conference. Julius Randle became the Knicks' main attacking option and even deserved a call up to the All-Star Game.
New York already played three games against Atlanta during this season. In all of those games Knicks were victorious. Moreover, in both home games Tom Thibodeau's guys claimed confident victories with a margin of 11 and then ten points.
Atlanta finished the regular season on the fifth spot of the Eastern Conference. But most of their wins Hawks claimed at home court. They were not playing successfully on away - they won only 16 of 36 away games. Without a doubt, Hawks will count on their home games in their play-off run. It would be incredibly difficult for them to secure a positive result on away games.
Atlanta is approaching the game against New York with a string of five straight defeats. Of course it won't be a good affection on the players' mood.

Tip and bets
Knicks are playing good around their rim, but it still will be hard to stop Hawks' offense. Atlanta can't play with a different approach. They will go ahead and try to outscore their opponents. In three last matches New York couldn't stop Hawks' forwards. We believe that this game won't be an exception.
Our prediction - total over 213,5 points
New York played good against Atlanta recently. Knicks outplayed the Hawks in last four head-to-head games. Considering how Hawks play on away this season, we will bet on the hosts to win.
Our second prediction - New York to win (Including OT)
