Teams Preview

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks are back to their final home game of the series in search of a crucial victory. The hosts dropped the previous game against the Knicks 97-126 and conceded a 3-2 lead. It was their second straight loss in the series. With a 2-1 advantage, they had a chance to make it big but the Knicks had other plans. In both defeats, Atalanta failed to cross 100 points in the game. After losing the series opener at MSG, Atlanta secured two straight victories. Now, New York gave them a similar taste. 

The Hawks finished sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 46-36 record in the regular season. Atlanta would eye to force a Game 7 on Thursday night. At present, no playoff series has produced a Game 7. Meanwhile, the pressure is high on the Hawks after two clinical defeats. One defeat also came at home arena. Jalen Johnson led the scoring with a double-double, while Dyson Daniels added 17 points. Okongwu and Alexander-Walker had 16 points each. 

Atlanta averaged 118.5 points per game and allowed 116.0 points per game in the regular season. The hosts shot 47.4% from the floor and 37.1% from the three-point line during the regular season. If we pick out the offensive threat on this side, Jalen Johnson is the right name. The 24-year-old star averaged 22.5 points and 10.3 rebounds in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in this game. 

New York Knicks

The New York Knicks are back to their best version after two consecutive wins in the playoff series. The Eastern heavyweight didn’t allow the Hawks to cross 100 points in previous two games. With the win in Game 5, New York built a 3-2 lead. They would eye to wrap up the series on Thursday or deny Game 7 at MSG. The Knicks have previously defeated Atlanta on the road so they would fancy their chances. 

New York beat Atlanta two out of three times in the regular season and continued a similar run in the playoffs. They silence the rejuvenated version of Atlanta, who beat them in back-to-back games to take a 2-1 lead. The Knicks averaged 116.5 points per game and allowed 110.1 points per game in the regular season. They ranked fourth in three-point shooting (37.3%). The Knicks qualified for the Eastern Conference finals last year where they lost to the Indiana Pacers. They are now on the verge of conference semifinals this year. 

Jalen Brunson led all the scorers with 39 points and eight assists. OG Anunoby dropped 17 points and 10 assists, while Karl Anthony-Towns went for 16 points and 14 rebounds. Brunson could also be our offensive threat in this game. He averaged 28.2 points in five games of the playoffs. We back him to score 20 or more points in the road fixture. New York would eye a series victory on Thursday night. If Atlanta force Game 7, anything can happen in the finale at MSG.
