Prediction
Both sides are having a bad season so far. However, the Knicks seems to be the team that suffers from fatigue as they cannot withstand back to back games. On the other side, the Hawks got a valuable win in their last game against the Hornets. Also, they are playing at home and I expect a second win in a row for them. Take Atlanta in this one.
