Stephen Nover's NBA Early Game Big Casher
(NBA) Atlanta vs. New York,
Total: 209.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Certainly the situation spells Under with the Hawks and Knicks meeting early Christmas morning after being idle Christmas Eve.

The Hawks don't have any firepower. A COVID-19 outbreak has taken away all of Atlanta's explosive scorers, including Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari, Lou Williams and Kevin Huerter. De'Andre Hunter also is out due to a wrist injury. That leaves the Hawks with very little firepower as evidenced by their scoring 98 points in each of their past two games.

The Knicks are going to be stressing defense after Tom Thibodeau ripped them for giving up 124 points to the Wizards in a 124-117 loss this past Thursday.
