New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks will play Game 1 of their seven-game playoff series on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks finished the regular season 53-29, earning the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. Mike Brown and his men will know they could’ve done better if not for their inconsistent form on the road, where they dropped 19 of their 41 matches. They’ll be keen to start this series with a solid performance.
Atlanta Hawks, on the other side of the hardwood, finished the regular season with a 46-36 record. This was good enough to clinch the No. 6 seed and avoid the play-in tournament. The Hawks performed slightly better than the Knicks on the road, winning 22 of their 41 assignments. However, their home record of 24-17 isn’t convincing. They’ll have to improve on that if they must survive against a well-drilled side like the Knicks.

Our New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Knicks are the heavy -230 favorites. They’ll want to maximize their home games in this series and extend their 2-1 record against the Hawks this season. The Knicks have also been on fire at home this season, going 30-10 at Madison Square Garden. However, the Hawks finished the regular season in red-hot form. They went 8-4 in their last 12 matches while averaging 122.7 points per game. Their young squad will know that they have little to lose at this stage, which lessens the pressure. We expect the Hawks to try to impose their energetic attacking style on the Knicks, leading to a high-scoring shootout. Still, the Knicks look unbeatable at home.
Our prediction for New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks: Over 214.5 points.
