Our New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
New York is once again the favorite; however, we will be looking at Jalen Johnson to score at least 22 points. Johnson has easily been the best player for Atlanta this season. He averaged 22.5 points per game during the regular season, which he essentially matched in Game 1 of this series.
Including the three regular-season games against the Knicks, Johnson is averaging 20.5 points per game against New York. While this is slightly lower than the number of points we will need for this game, we should expect a much more efficient outing from Johnson in Game 2.
The Hawks' chances in this series and specifically Game 2 likely rest on how Johnson plays; therefore, our New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks prediction is: Jalen Johnson 22+ Points.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
