After scoring successive blowouts over the Atlanta Hawks, the New York Knicks will try to secure an emphatic closeout win in Game 6. The Knicks, 8-3 ATS in their last 10 games, are facing a -2.5 point handicap for this game.
Knicks lockdown defense: The Knicks seized control of this series the moment they decided to play harder on defense. New York has clamped down on the Hawks, holding them below 100 points in Games 4 and 5. They have also defended the threes from the Hawks, who shot 29 percent from beyond the arc in Game 4 and 31 percent in Game 5.
Sizzling Jalen Brunson: Jalen Brunson posted 39 points and 8 assists while shooting 65 FG% and 60 3PT% in the Knicks 127-96 win in Game 5. The Knicks will continue to rely on their dynamic guard as they try to close out the Hawks in Game 6 in Atlanta. Through five games in this series, Brunson has averaged 28.2 points and 5.8 assists in 36 minutes of play.
Where was CJ?: After taking the lead for the Hawks in the first three games, CJ McCollum has been a non-factor in the last two games. McCollum scored 17 points in Game 4 and only 6 points in 32 minutes in Game 5. The Knicks have made a concerted effort to slow down the veteran by throwing multiple defenders at him and forcing him to become more of a facilitator than a shot-maker.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Knicks will close out the Hawks behind another big-time performance by Jalen Brunson.
New York seems to have figured out how to defend the Hawks, who have misfired mightily from the three-point area in the last two games. CJ McCollum can no longer play his game because the Knicks are already sending long defenders (OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges) to him every time he tries to make a move. Jalen Johnson has been able to chalk up solid all-around numbers (19.2 ppg, 7.6 rpg, and 5.0 apg) in his first postseason as the main man guy for the Hawks, but these numbers aren’t screaming superstar.
The Knicks, who have covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 meetings with the Hawks, catch a -134 price on the moneyline and -110 on a 2.5-point handicap, which is surprisingly narrow after two blowout wins over the Hawks.
Our betting prediction for the New York Knicks vs. the Atlanta Hawks: The Knicks -2.5 points
