New York at Atlanta

This New York team has improved quite a bit, but is still quite a mystery. They seem to play really well against the good teams, but play uninspired against the poor teams, such as Atlanta. The Knicks have been just 17-35 ATS over their last 52 games against teams with a winning percentage under .400. This season they have lost 12 of 17 to teams with losing records, and 6 of those 12 have been by 17 points or more, nine by double digits, and 11 by 8+ points. They are also a very poor 7-20 ATS in back-to-back games, and have dropped their last four on the road by an average of 14-ppg, getting no closer than eight points.
