Hawks vs. Knicks Game Info
Atlanta Hawks (41-31, 16-20 Away) vs. New York Knicks (41-31, 25-11 Home)
Date: Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Madison Square Garden – New York, N.Y.
Coverage: TNT
Whether it’s strong defense from Atlanta or terrible offense from New York, the Hawks are getting the job done this series. They have held the Knicks to an average of 99 points through four games, which takes pressure off of them offensively. Trae Young has been terrific this series, showing just how much he has grown as a player. Through four games, he has averaged 27.5 points and 10 assists. He got help from John Collins is Game 4, who topped 20 points for the first time all series. While it won’t make any headlines, Clint Capela has also played a vital role for Atlanta down low, averaging 13 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
In classic Tom Thibodeau fashion, his team is stalling out in the playoffs. He tried to jumpstart the Knicks’ offense by inserting Derrick Rose into the starting five. Rose has been great, averaging 22.8 points on 50.4% shooting this series. However, there are not many other positive things to say about this team’s offense. Julius Randle should be forced to give his Most Improved Player of the Year award back after disappearing for three games. He finally topped 20 points last game. Both he and Rose will need to carry this team offensively to extend this series.

Hawks vs. Knicks NBA Betting Trends
- Atlanta is 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last six games.

- Atlanta is 7-1 straight up (SU) in its last eight games.
- New York is 1-4 ATS in its last five games.
Hawks vs. Knicks Prediction
With the spread this close, it is essentially a pick-’em. Shots seem to fall a bit more often when players are in Madison Square Garden, so the Knicks should get back to scoring more than 100 points, which isn’t saying much. The game could go either way, but I would lean Knicks to extend the series. However, the official bet is the over. Along with the Knicks shooting better, Young should be motivated to put up a big performance in this building after what happened the last time he was there.
Prediction: Over 208
