LiontipsNew York vs Atlanta. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
New Yorkers are in a rusty form, which led to their drop from the Top-10 of the Eastern Conference. Tom Thibodeau's men are facing injury problems, but in some matches team was just unfortunate.
In the most recent match New York failed to put up a fight to Washington at Madison Square Garden (117:124). Head coach finally gave a chance to Kemba Walker, who put up a brilliant performance, scoring 44 points, but it was not enough for a victory. In the next match Knicks will play hosts to the Hawks.
Hawks' mediocre performance led them to a 9th spot in the Eastern Conference. Team is unable to compete against top teams, because eight players are on injuried list, team's leader Trae Young is among them.
In the previous match Atlanta clinched a 98:96 victory over Philadelphia. It was an away match, but Cameron Reddish and his partners were more fortunate than the hosts. Nate McMillan has an objective to bring the team back to Top-6, so team needs to improve the performance.

Tip and bets
Atlanta looks great on away matches, six most recent road games finished with a victory. But Hawks lost a number of key players and in the previous match it was clear that team needs an improvement. Nate McMillan and his players are coming for a victory, but their opponent is extremely motivated.
New York has no other choice but to go all the way ahead. Derrick Rose should be able to return soon and that's great for the team. In our opinion, hosts will have more chances to get a positive result at Madison Square Garden.
Our prediction - New York Knicks to win (Including OT)
We think that both teams are in a bad situation, so both opponents will show no mercy. We are expecting an interesting battle in New York.
Our second bet is on total over 211,5 points
