The New York Knicks<\/a> could very well be up 3-0 in their first-round NBA playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, but they lost by a single point in each of the last two games to fall behind 2-1. Now, the Knicks will need to win on Saturday in order to even the series at 2-2 and avoid a 3-1 deficit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knicks vs. Hawks same-game parlay picks<\/p>\n

Same-game parlay odds: +585<\/p>\n

Knicks -1.5<\/p>\n

This has been a frustrating series for the Knicks, who needed just a single basket in each of the last two games to have a lead in this series entering Saturday. That hasn’t been the case, though, and New York will now need to win in order to even the series up. The spread is tight at 1.5 points, and the model prefers backing the Knicks to win and cover as they cover this line in 53% of simulations.<\/p>\n

Over 214.5<\/p>\n

These teams cleared this line in Games 1 and 3 and combined for 213 points in Game 2, so 214.5 seems like a pretty solid number. The model prefers the Over, though, as it hits in 53.2% of simulations. Both these teams finished in the top 10 in points scored this season.<\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson Under 27.5 points<\/p>\n

If the Knicks are going to escape Game 4 with a road win, they’ll need a big performance from their star player. That would be Brunson, who was a postseason hero last year in New York’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Brunson has hardly been the problem for New York in this series, averaging 27.66 points per game with a low of 26 in Game 3. The model is taking the Under, though, with a projection of 26.0 points in Game 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Knicks could very well be up 3-0 in their first-round NBA playoff series with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[7218,64,63,615,20455,305393,305390,305392,305391,590,152039,139020,139018,139019,139951,305389,1666,12841,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-630227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-atlanta-hawks","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-betting","12":"tag-jalen-brunson","13":"tag-jalen-brunson-props","14":"tag-knicks-hawks-odds","15":"tag-knicks-hawks-parlay","16":"tag-knicks-hawks-sgp","17":"tag-nba","18":"tag-nba-injury-report","19":"tag-nba-odds","20":"tag-nba-parlay","21":"tag-nba-picks","22":"tag-nba-predictions","23":"tag-nba-sgp","24":"tag-new-york-knicks","25":"tag-shai-gilgeous-alexander","26":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
