The New York Knicks are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2013 and that’s not all. The Knicks were the biggest surprise of the 2020-21 NBA season, winning 41 games en route to home-court advantage in the first round. Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are looking to stop the party.
This 4 vs. 5 matchup is a coin flip at pretty much every sportsbook around and that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Sure, the Knicks swept the Hawks in their regular-season series, but the regular season means nothing in the playoffs.
