Atlanta Hawks Form

Atlanta go into this matchup on the back of a loss, but they have been in good form recently with six wins in their last seven games.

The Hawks lost three straight in late November, but steadied the ship with a 135-124 upset of Cleveland on the road.

They then proved that was no fluke with a 117-101 win over the Cavaliers at home, before heading back out on the road to down Charlotte, 107-104.

Atlanta then sandwiched a 119-104 road win with home wins over New Orleans, 124-11, and the Los Angeles Lakers, 134-132 in overtime to take their streak to six games.

The Hawks failed to make it seven wins in a row though, as they were blown out at home by Denver on Sunday, 141-111.

New York Knicks Form

New York return home from Toronto having recorded their 10th win in their last 13 games.

The Knicks started this sequence with a couple of home wins over Brooklyn, as they beat the Nets 124-122 and 114-104.

They then downed Washington 134-106 at home and Phoenix 138-122 on the road, before bouncing back from a 121-106 defeat in Utah with a 145-118 rout of Denver.

New York lost 129-114 in Dallas after, but responded with four straight victories as they beat Charlotte 99-98, New Orleans 118-85, Orlando 121-106 and Charlotte 125-101.

The Knicks failed to make it five-in-a-row, as they were beaten 120-111 by Detroit at home, but they did bounce back immediately by winning 113-108 in Toronto on Monday.

Verdict

Trae Young loves nothing more than to play the villain at Madison Square Garden.

That has resulted in a bunch of wins and covers for Atlanta at the home of the Knicks, so give us the Hawks and the free points.
