Hawks vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - November 2, 2022

Rolo

DraftKings. Under in 5/7 (and yes I recognize we’ve won by the hook twice in a row). But the fact is that this is another tough matchup for him. NYK protects the paint well, allowing the 2nd lowest frequency of buckets within 10 feet (Robinson + Hartenstein average 3.5 blocks per game). The Knicks struggle against spot up shooters (second most points allowed). Murray only averages 1.9 pts off spot up shots per game on poor efficiency. This is more of a drive and kick game for him. Plus, it’s Trae Young at MSG - this game is going to revolve around him running the PnR.

This team total is too low for how balanced & efficient the Knicks have been on O combined with how poor the Hawks have been on D. Knicks haven’t played the toughest comp but are still scoring 126.3 ppg on 50+% from the floor at The Garden. The roll players & bench shine at home as well headlined by Immanuel Quickly. Knicks bench scoring 44.5 ppg vs Hawks 31.1 ppg A major edge the Knicks have is on the glass. They should crush the Hawks on the boards & produce spots for second chance points. Marcus Robinson and Isiah Hartenstein had 11 ORB against the Cavs. The Hawks are 27th in the NBA in rebounding. Knicks tops in multiple categories. When the Hawks are not playing the Pistons, Rockets or Magic they are giving up 129.3 a game. Just gave up 139 to the Raptors who are not an offensive juggernaut. Hawks overall 25th in defensive rating. Hawks 5th straight road game & 4th road game in 6 nights. o114.5 -130 at PointsBet 12:36am Wednesday. Potentially better prices out there later this morning. Would play o115.5 -110. More on BUCKETS pod
