Premium Pick

New York had to play last night and is not going to try and get into a running game. The Knicks are #28 in the NBA in scoring, #26 in shooting, and dead last in free throw shooting, on an 8-3-1 run UNDER the total. New York is 41-22 UNDER the total against losing teams, including 13-6 UNDER away versus opponents with a home winning percentage of less than .400. It's a tough spot playing last night, and the Knicks are 2-8 ATS working on no days of rest. Atlanta is rested, home from an impressive two-game road trip, covering both, including a 127-120 victory at Minnesota as an underdog. Atlanta is 47-31 ATS after allowing 110+ points in three straight games, so back home court in a defensive duel. Play Atlanta and the UNDER.
