The Knicks vs Hawks series is heading back south for a high-stakes Game 6 that could send one team to the second round and the other to the offseason. New York managed to reclaim the momentum with a statement win at the Garden, but now they have to prove they can handle the pressure of a closeout game in a hostile environment. After Jalen Brunson practically turned Game 5 into his own personal clinic, the Knicks are sitting just one win away from advancing, while the Hawks are staring down the end of their season unless they can find an answer for New York’s physicality and force a decisive Game 7.

Oddsmakers are giving the visiting team a slight edge in this spot, setting the Knicks as 2.5-point favorites despite the change in scenery. This line really highlights how much New York has dictated the terms of this series lately, especially with their ability to dominate the glass and create second-chance opportunities. For the Hawks to capitalize on their home court advantage, they will need to solve the defensive puzzle that has kept them below 100 points the last two games, and held CJ McCollum to just 6 points in Game 5.
*Brett Davis-Imagn ImagesThe game total of 213.5 suggests another grind is on the horizon. When a team has their season on the line, the pace usually dips as the intensity rises, and New York is more than happy to play that style of basketball. If you believe Atlanta can rediscover their offensive spark in front of the home crowd to force a deciding Game 7, the over may be a “Live” market.

The first scorer market is led by Jalen Brunson at +466, as the Knicks have consistently looked to their star point guard to set the tone early in playoff games. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Johnson both follow at +600, being the primary second options for their respective squads after the opening tip. Atlanta’s CJ McCollum rounds out the top of the board at +630, as the Hawks will likely prioritize getting him an early rhythm-building shot to move past his shooting struggles from the previous game.
