The Knicks head south to face the Hawks in Game 3. Jason Logan's same-game parlay for Thursday's contest gives New York the nod, thanks to two of its toughest players.
The New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks are locked at 1-1 as their opening round NBA Playoffs series heads south for Game 3 on Thursday.
My same-game parlay for this pivotal matchup is in a “New York state of mind”, banking on the Knicks to overcome a crushing loss in Game 2 and get solid work from two of its grittiest postseason performers in Game 3.
The New York Knicks had a 2-0 series lead in their hands, but poor foul shooting and careless turnovers opened the door for an advantageous Atlanta Hawks squad. New York has looked strong for seven of the first eight quarters in this series and feels the pressure not to let the Hawks get a whiff of hope as they head home.
OG Anunoby’s points total should be higher in Game 3. But the Knicks forward left points on the table with a 4-for-8 night from the charity stripe in Game 2. He dropped 18 in the series opener, doesn’t shrink on the road, and is projected for as many as 17+ points in Game 3.
Josh Hart finds another gear in the postseason and has been extremely active on the glass, averaging 19.0 rebounding chances in the opening two games. That nose for the ball has resulted in 13 and 14 boards in those outings. His Game 3 forecast once again sits around double figures on the glass from Hart.
