Command Analysis
In the first match New York chose their favourite defensive strategy, but it didn't work. We saw an extremely close game, but in the end of the match Knicks fell through. Tom Thibodeau's men failed in the last minutes of the game. New York's players missed some important shots and let the victory slip away (105:107).
In the second fixture everything will depend on Burks, Rose and Randle. If that trio will perform on a good level, then Atlanta will have a hard time. Knicks have nowhere to retreat, so they will be extremely motivated for this match.
Atlanta performed great in the previous match. Hawks couldn't play like they used to do, but they were pretty successful in a slow basketball. It is very important that New York was beaten with their own weapon. It surely brought some self-confidence to the Hawks.
In the next match everything will depend on Trae Young again. He is the main attacking option for Atlanta. In the first match he scored 32 points. Hawks' fans are also counting on Bogdan Bogdanovic and John Collins. And of course we can't forget about Clint Capela, who is a monster under the rim.

Tip and bets
A loss in the second game would be catastrophic for the Knicks. Going at Atlanta with a 0:2 score in the series will be a game over for them. So Tom Thibodeau's men will do everything to even the score. In the first match New York's lads were just a little unfortunate. Probably they will be more lucky this time.
Our prediction - New York to win (Including OT)
In the first match Atlanta scored 107 points. In another three head-to-head games this season Hawks players scored at least 108 points. In our opinion, Hawks will put up a high number of points in this game as well.
Our second prediction - Atlanta's individual total over 105,5 points
