Knicks -5.5
New York won Game 1 of this series 113-102, and as mentioned above, it has been one of the best home teams in the league this season. The Knicks are 31-23 ATS on the season after a victory and 28-13 ATS at home. On the flip side, the Hawks are 17-19 ATS after a loss despite being 23-19 ATS on the road. The SportsLine model has the Knicks covering in Game 2 in 69% of simulations.
Mikal Bridges Over 12.5 points
The SportsLine props model has Bridges at 16.3 points on Monday. He managed only 11 points in Game 1 of the series but closed the regular season strong, scoring 13 or more points in three of the last five games he appeared in. Bridges averaged 15.7 points per game in three meetings against the Hawks during the regular season and should surpass this line in Game 2.
CJ McCollum Over 3.5 assists
McCollum was part of the return in the trade that sent Trae Young to the Wizards, and he's been solid for Atlanta. The veteran guard averaged 3.9 assists per game during the regular season, but that number jumped to 4.8 per game over March and April. McCollum was more of a scorer in Game 1 and only got one assist, but the props model projects him for 4.2 dimes on Monday night in Game 2.
