The Atlanta Hawks<\/a> were excellent against the spread down the stretch, and despite getting smoked in the second half of Game 1 vs. the New York Knicks<\/a>, they will be competitive in this series, particularly in Game 2.<\/p>\n

With Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> coming off an uncharacteristically poor shooting night, we’re building an SGP banking on a bounce-back game from the guard en route to cashing the Over.<\/p>\n

Read on for our full Hawks vs. Knicks predictions<\/a> ahead of tip on Monday, April 20.<\/p>\n

Our best Hawks vs Knicks SGP for Game 2<\/p>\n

I picked the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> to cover the same 5.5-point spread in Game 1, and they lost by 11. But I\u2019m not deterred, as Atlanta has a clear path to making this one more competitive.<\/p>\n

The Hawks were a putrid 12 of 19 from the charity stripe, falling well below their season average of 77.4%.<\/p>\n

The New York Knicks<\/a> hit 25 of 30 free throws, and Atlanta can do a better job at limiting opportunities there. The Hawks went 18-8 against the spread between the All-Star break and the end of the season, and I expect them to keep this one close as they look to avoid a 2-0 hole.<\/p>\n

The Hawks and Knicks faced off four times this season, finishing with combined game totals of 215, 213, 210, and 253. Game 1 finished just a bucket shy of hitting the Over, and I\u2019m betting on that extra bucket in Game 2.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s shooting was off, as the team hit just 44% of their field-goal attempts, and leading scorer Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> finished with only 17 points on a miserable 6-for-17 shooting. A slightly more efficient offensive attack from the visitors should push this one to hit the Over.<\/p>\n
