Knicks vs. Hawks Game Info
New York Knicks (41-31, 16-20 Away) vs. Atlanta Hawks (41-31, 25-11 Home)
Date: Sunday, May 30, 2021
Time: 1 p.m. EST
Venue: State Farm Arena – Atlanta, Ga.
Coverage: ABC
The Knicks made a switch to their starting lineup last game, adding Derrick Rose. The hope was that it would add more offense to this unit, and Rose did his part, scoring 30 points and dishing five assists. However, he didn’t get much help. Julius Randle continued to struggle, scoring 14 points on 2-for-15 shooting. Nerlens Noel was the team’s second-leading scorer (12 points) thanks to his 10-for-12 free throw shooting. Defense isn’t the Knicks issue; they need to find ways to score.
With no massive performance from Trae Young or anyone else, one would think the Hawks lost. However, 105 points was more than enough to win. Young continues to share the ball well, bringing his assist numbers to 10.3 per game for the series. He also led the team with 21 points. Outside of Young, it was a balanced scoring approach, with six other Hawks scoring in double figures but not topping 15. As long as they continue to play solid basketball and not turn the ball over, they can find success against the Knicks.

Knicks vs. Hawks Prediction
The series has continued to go back and forth the entire time. If that pattern continues today, then the Knicks should be expected to win. However, I refuse to put actual money on an NBA team that struggles to score 100 points. I am going to be bold and actually bet the over today. There were no big scoring performances last game outside of maybe Rose. Today Randle should play a bit better, and someone will get hot for the Hawks. When a 209 is a push, the over is the play.
Prediction: Over 209 (William Hill)
