*2 BIG GAME RELEASES TODAY* Today we BURN THE BOOKS in 3 sports: 5-1 NBA LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE, 10-3 NBA FAST BREAK, 17-7 NHL POWER PLAY, and my SMASH PLAY in MLB today. Join me and together we will BURN THE BOOKS DOWN! Saturday's FREE PLAY: New York Knicks. Game 582. 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST. The Knicks have dominated the Hawks taking five of the last six meetings straight up, including two of three matchups this season. They certainly come into this postseason hotter, winning five of their final six games SU, and covering their last five games played. Meanwhile, Atlanta struggled down the stretch dropping three of their last four, both SU and ATS. Playing at Madison Square Garden has certainly benefited the Knickerbockers. They are one of the best home teams in the NBA going 30-10 on their own court. Statistically, New York scores about the same as Atlanta, while their defense is significantly stronger. They are better from the free-throw line, when this game gets physical, and without question, are much stronger at both ends of the court on the boards. Take the Knicks. Thank you.
