Atlanta at New York

The Knicks have now won three in a row for just the second time all year. The question remains is this a team that has taken the season off, and been a no-show almost the entire year suddenly turning it on for a lengthy period to close the season? Looking back the answer to that question is no. The Knicks have been awful now for four years, and during that time have mounted as much of a three game winning streak just eight times. They have not been able to maintain, and have been 1-8 SU and 1-8 ATS after winning three straight. The Hawks have not clinched a thing yet, and Indiana has closed the gap for the final playoff spot down to two games, so a full effort is expected here. The only thing the Knicks winning three straight does is keep this line down and put value in it. The Hawks are an improved team especially on the road. They were a 7-25 road team as recently as March 10, but have won four on the road since. For four years running the Knicks have not been able to maintain focus for more than three games and the Hawks will come to play here, and we will ride them.
