The New York Knicks opened the season with a 108-104 loss to Boston, while Atlanta opened the season with a 116-110 loss at Charlotte. Both games went under the closing totals by nine points or more, and I think the total for this game looks a bit high as well.

Both teams are coming into Friday ranked bottom-five for effective field goal percentage, and while it's only over a one-game sample, it's still something.
