The Knicks' high-powered offense meets the Hawks' scoring punch at State Farm Arena, where Atlanta's 118.5 points per game could clash with New York's stingy 104.5 points allowed. On paper, this one has all the makings of a high-flying, back-and-forth affair. The Knicks come in with a 53-29 record, including a respectable 22-19 on the road, while the Hawks are 46-36 and 24-17 at home.
The matchup pits the Knicks' Jalen Brunson and his 26.0 points per game against the Hawks' Jalen Johnson, whose 22.5 points per game pace. The Hawks will have to make do without center Jarrett Landale, who's out with an ankle injury. Given the teams' scoring and defensive contrasts, it'll be interesting to see how the Hawks' home form holds up - make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat.
