Atlanta at New York

A pair of outstanding defensive teams meet in what will be a slow paced game. Atlanta is sixth in the NBA in points allowed, while the Knicks are eighth. The UNDER is 35-17 in the Hawks last 52 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .60. The UNDER is also 4-1 in the Hawks last five road games, so they don't look to go uptempo away from home. The Knicks are content to play any style with their depth and balance. For example, in the last two games, the Knicks have a win at Boston and a loss at Philly, both under the total. In fact, they are on a 6-1 run UNDER the total. The Knicks played yesterday, so this veteran-laden team won't have any need to get into a running game. When these teams meet the UNDER is 4-0 in the last four meetings in New York. Play the Hawks/Knicks UNDER the total.
