ASA top play on: NY Knicks money line -117 over Atlanta Hawks, 7:35 PM ET - This is similar to a 1980’s series as it’s gotten chippy with both teams playing physical, intense and we like the home team Knicks to come out on top tonight. New York was 10th in the NBA in average home point differential at +4.1PPG, were 15th in offensive efficiency at home and 4th in defensive efficiency. Atlanta was 18th in average road differential at -0.4PPG and 16-20 SU away from home. The Hawks had the 11th best OEFF on the road in the league but were 27th in DEFF. Atlanta is just 1-6 ATS their last seven road games and the home team has obviously won 3 of the four meetings thus far in this series. New York is 11-4 SU at home off a loss and they basically just have to win this game at the current number to cover. Trae Young has had his way with the Knicks in the series but expect Knicks coach Thibodeau to have a scheme in place to limit his effectiveness in this contest. A big home crowd in the Garden tonight will help propel the Knicks to a win.
