Hawks Game 2 computer picks
Jonathan Kuminga Over 11.5 points (-112)
Projection: 12.9 points
Jonathan Kuminga had a quiet Game 1, but he had cleared this line in six of his last 10 prior to it.
Our system notes that the Atlanta Hawks played at the fourth-fastest pace as a visiting team this year, and Kuminga could benefit from that here.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 3.5 assists (+122)
Projection: 3.9 assists
This ticket has been a winner in four of Nickeil Alexander-Walker's last 10 games, including Game 1 of this series.

Projection: 2.9 assists

Onyeka Okongwu missed the Over by just one assist in Game 1, making him 3-4 O/U on this prop across his last seven overall.
Knicks Game 2 computer picks
Miles McBride Over 6.5 points (-125)
Projection: 8.8 points
With the exception of a 21-point outburst vs. Charlotte on April 12, Miles McBride has been routinely falling below this prop. However, he was being eased back into the New York Knicks rotation starting on March 31 after missing about two months with a sports hernia injury.
McBride saw 21 minutes of floor time in Game 1, so the opportunities should be there. Our computer calculates a +22.8% EV edge.
Miles Bridges Over 12.5 points (-130)
Projection: 14.5 points
Miles Bridges is expected to get lots of extra shots to atone for going Under this prop in Game 1.
"Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce more opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Knicks grade out 3rd-best in in the NBA while on their home court with 13.3 offensive boards per game this year."
This ticket has been a winner in seven of Bridges' last 12 overall.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds (-130)
Projection: 13.2 rebounds
Karl-Anthony Towns has been a beast on the boards all year long for the Knicks, and he's projected to clear this line by over a rebound and a half, good for a +17.9% EV edge.
Towns has snared 12+ boards in 13 of his last 21 dating back to March 1.
