Preview

The Atlanta Hawks hit the road and will visit the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. This is the fourth and last time these teams face off this season. The Knicks dominated the Hawks in the last 3 games and beat them by at least 9 points each game.

ATLANTA HAWKS

The Hawks have won 3 of their last 5 games but are only 12-22 on the road this season. They have a 35-36 record overall ranking 3rd in the Southeast division. In their last game, Atlanta lost against the Pelicans at home 117-112. Danilo Gallinari scored 25 points for Atlanta, which had its seven-game home winning streak snapped

Young is shooting 45.5% and averaging 27.9 points for the Hawks. Bogdan Bogdanovic is averaging 2.3 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games for Atlanta.

The Hawks are 6-4 in their last 10 games, averaging 117.5 points, 41.9 rebounds, 25.9 assists, 7.4 steals and 4.1 blocks per game while shooting 46.5% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 116.0 points.

INJURIES: Collins is out.  Bogdanovic is questionable.

NEW YORK KNICKS

The Knicks have also lost 3 of their last 5 games and are 15-20 at home. They have a 30-41 overall record ranking 5th in the Atlantic division. New York ranks fourth in the NBA with 46.4 rebounds led by Julius Randle averaging 10.0.

Evan Fournier averages 3.1 made 3-pointers per game for the Knicks, scoring 14.4 points while shooting 39.8% from beyond the arc. Randle is shooting 40.5% and averaging 24.4 points over the last 10 games for New York.

In their last 10 games the Knicks are 5-5, averaging 111.8 points, 48.6 rebounds, 22.0 assists, 7.1 steals and 4.6 blocks per game while shooting 44.1% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 105.4 points per game.

BETTING TRENDS

Atlanta are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games.

Atlanta are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games on the road.

New York are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games.

New York are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games at home.

Prediction

Both teams have been inconsistent during the current season. The Hawks are losing the 65% of the time when they're on the road and have covered the spread in only 10 of 34 games away from home. The Knicks are 14-21 ATS at home but they have dominated the Hawks this season. In the last 3 head to head the average score is 105-95 favoring the Knicks. With the Knicks allowing 105.4 ppg in their last 10 games I think we'll see another slow scoring game. Take the under.

PICK: Under 226 (-110)
