The Hawks have been able to bottle up Julius Randle, but the Knicks haven't been able to stop Trae Young. The result is the Hawks got a 1-1 split in New York.

Now this playoff series scene shifts to Atlanta where the Hawks have been the hottest home team in the NBA with 11 straight victories. Atlanta has won 19 of its last 21 home contests and has covered 72 percent of its past 32 home games. 

The Hawks will have their first capacity crowd of 21,000 against the Knicks for the first time since COVID-19 limitations were put in place. 
Randle, the Knicks' best player, has missed 28 of 39 shots from the floor. Young is averaging 31 points in the series and has made 22 of 43 shots from the field for 51 percent while also dishing off 17 assists. 

Young is streaky and right now he's hot and has his confidence. Now he's home where the Hawks have covered 16 of the last 21 times as a home favorite.
