Take Knicks here they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 in Atlanta and 7-3 in their last 10 meetings. They can fly and score with the Hawks on any night. On their last match up they lost by 13 at home but note the Knicks were playing awful ball at that point. Right now they are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 losing 2 ATS to the Magic. They match up much better against the Hawks in my opinion. IN the match up on 11/11 Nate Robinson did not play and he will play tonight after getting benched by D'Antoni for some unknown reason. Robinson was super hot before being benched and he'll look to recapture that here tonight.
Knicks 28-13-1 ATS on the road in their last 42, and they are 3-1 ATS this year as dogs by 10+ points. Dani Galinari is quietly becoming a star with 62 points in his last three games including 21 rebounds. I look for him to have a huge game here tonight. Hawks are coming off one of their best offensive performances ever scoring 146 points against Toronto. That is why this line is a bit inflated in my opinion as the Knicks could beat the Hawks out right. Hawks are only outscoring opponents on 1 days rest by 1.6 points and the last time they came off a two game road trip they won scoring 121 points, they then went on to score just 99 points on 1 days rest in their second game at home. Similar situation they came off a road trip put 146 on the Raptors and should digress from here considerably. I know the Knicks don't play defense, but they are playing good ball right now and I think this is too many points to be getting.
The line opened up at 12.5 and the public jumped after they saw what the Hawks did to the Raptors thinking the Knicks aren't as good as the Raptors. However despite public opinion the line has gone down to 11 and even 10.5 in some spots. Take it at 11 and enjoy!
