New York is at Atlanta and both teams are off losses last night. NY has done well against Atlanta, 4-1 ATS the last five meetings and has beaten Atlanta in 9 of their last 11 meetings. The Knicks are 25-12-1 ATS when playing on no days rest, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Atlanta has problems with depth, as the injuries continue to pile up with point guard Jeff Teague sitting out against the Pistons last night due to a sprained left ankle he suffered in Wednesday's loss to Washington. Atlanta is already without center Al Horford for the season, while backup Pero Antic (ankle) is out indefinitely. Reserve center Gustavo Ayon also missed his second straight contest Friday due to a shoulder injury. Atlanta is on an 0-7-1 ATS run and the Hawks are 2-9 ATS playing on no days rest. And the Knicks are 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Atlanta. Play the NY Knicks.
