Wed BIG PLAY!!! KNICKS -1.5!!! Tell Me Why Not???!!!

Hear me out!

In The NBA Playoffs thus far the team to win the game has only not covered twice throughout every game, so who ever you think will win will cover the spread. We are also seeing FAVES of -1.5 to -3 cover at a 10-1 ATS clip during this playoffs. The Hawks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Knicks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games and 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 games overall. The Hawks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New York and 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Knicks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest. You have to think The Knicks will get the benefit of the doubt calls in MSG while it will be rocking. The Knicks D is ranked first at home and should be able to make Atlanta regress to their mean on the road. Knicks offence cant be this bad for that long vs a subpar Hawks D. Law of Averages say Knicks have a great chance to regress back to their norm when playing at home. Since most teams have trouble closing out a series and the Hawks are young I feel playing at MSG to close out a series might be to big for them. 

Knicks win 110-98.

Knicks fans = bad omen. Their actions will return to haunt them at home.

Stop with the nonsense trends, they don't mean squat. Knicks are on two days rest but so are the Hawks. This isn't the regular season anymore. The knicks can barely score 100 points per game. Atlanta simply has too much firepower. You really think the Knicks can score 110 this game? I don't think so.

We all have our opinions. I stated why I feel they can. They scored 101 points when they won their only game. Scoring 9 more points (if I think they can win, is not that crazy) Randle just needs to shoot better than 30% which I think is a high possibility at home. 

well, if you're asking why not... knicks are severly outmatched in every position... their best player is drose who could get injured at any moment... atlanta could lose key players like Galo, collins or capela and they'd still have enough to blow the knicks out... then again, its the nba. anything can happen

 I bet they miss Austin Rivers right about now

Line is same as game 1, I took atl and won...plus now capella ran his mouth.

Tues the denver was the same in game 5 and game 1..portland won game 1 , denver game 5...patterns

I think it all depends on if Randle plays like before the playoffs or not.  He has not been the same all playoffs so far.  I'm sure it's a mental thing.  He needs to figure it out...

So? He has also played real good at home during season. I can see him getting his head together today. Raptors saw Pascal have a good game here and there even during his crappy playoff run. 

All the trends are on your side but I think Atlanta is the better team and capable of winning at the garden. The spread says as much.

Madison Square Garden. The garden was in Boston.

I know what u meant haha

as long as Knicks line does not drop below -1.5, I will prob make this a 1.5 UNIT or a 2 UNIT play! 

I have hit Denver and Clippers the last two games with their spreads being -2 and -3. Both plays got the same type of response as this one. Knicks look dead and shouldn't be bet on.... thats usually the best time to bet on them. When everyone has counted them out. AKA Clippers in Dallas down 2-0 I had Clips -2.5 and than game 4 at -3. Denver last night people thought were DOA due to Dame Time (which they almost were) but they ended up covering in Double OT. 

Hawks are -125 to win the series in 5 games but a dog for the game line tonight?? 

In the only game ATL lost, they were up double digits in the 3rd quarter; McMillan made a poor judgement to keep both Bogi and Young out of the game and the Knicks went on an insane run to not only take the lead but extend it quite a bit. Even then, the Hawks made it a tied game late in the 4th before NY finally pulled away.

Since then, the Hawks haven't gone without at least one of Trae or Bogi on the floor at all times and the next 2 games in Atlanta weren't close. At the close of game 4, it was obvious the Knicks had no answer as evidenced by the cheap shots they began to take on Collins and Gallo. D-Rose now looks exhausted and less like he did in games 1-2.

Too many scoring options for the Hawks, and the Knick's depth is very much in question.... I think ATL closes it out tonight.

Prob got way to many bets on that bet, now have to even it out and make a line that begs for people to take Hawks. 

Randle sucks these days, need to step up or game over

I am expecting 2 days off - he got a lot of work and video in to adapt his game. This is a great spot imo with everyone already counting them out. Capella running his mouth. So much motivation for knicks today. Not much more Atlanta besides closing out a series on the road. 

Lets see mate 

Im wit u man. this whole forum was pretty mcuh on portland las night and i was on nuggs ml, i see same thing today prolly most will b on the trending hawks but i will b taking knicks -1 tonight, Role players play better at home, the knicks just have to play a full 48 minutes not only play 1 good half uno..

I got hawks in 6 and maybe suns in 6 aswell if AD dont come bak

If no AD Lakers scrwed - but Lakers series at +240 is a decent price to snag as I can see them def even up the series. 

And since we like trends....

Knicks are 0-13 when down 3-1 in a 7-game series

Atlanta hawks has a much wider squad IMO and more options, lets hope for a nice game

Sorry i do not want to hear you out
