π₯New York Knicks +5 -105 @1pm β
Another situation here where an average 3 point shooting team shot the ball incredibly well while and above average team did not. Atlanta was lights out in Game 3, shooting 51% from the field and 59% (16-27) from 3. New York on the other hand shot a brutal 30% from deep going 9-30. To add to that Julius Randle was 2/15 from the field and has yet to find any success in this series. All that combined with Atlanta's home court advantage and they still only won the game by 11 points as a -5 favorite. I expect the Knicks to shoot much better today and make this game closer than we saw in Game 3 potentially winning outright today. They rank 3rd in the NBA in 3P FG% (trailing only Brooklyn and LAC) and they actually have the #1 3P perimeter defense in the NBA. So I would be shocked if Atlanta was able to repeat their game 3 performance again today. In a pivotal game I expect Randle to be any bit more productive and improve on his 14 points from the other night. If those things can happen I think NYK should have no problem keeping this game within the number.
This is also a classic situation we have played all year. Atlanta -5 wins handily in Game 3 with most of the public on NYK. So today we see Vegas giving us the same line between 2 teams playing back to back in the same location and the line is the same an now the public will be on Atlanta today expecting a similar result to the previous game. NYK with the points is the play
