The NBA Playoffs are back in the Big Apple for Game 5 between the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks.
New York holds home court after locking this series at 2-2, and my Hawks vs. Knicks predictions and NBA picks like the momentum to stay in Madison Square Garden, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart making a splash.

Our best Hawks vs Knicks SGP for Game 5
The New York Knicks’ playoff experience is starting to show after four games. The Knicks are making smart adjustments and have a better cast of support players to pick up the slack. I like New York to put the Atlanta Hawks on the ropes with a strong showing at MSG.
Karl-Anthony Towns was a conduit for this Knicks offense in Game 4, generating 10 assists as he set up shop atop the key. Towns was able to see over smaller defenders and find teammates activated from off-ball screens and backdoor cuts. He’s dished out four or more dimes in seven of his last eight games overall.
Josh Hart is best known for his defense and rebounding, which is why he continues to get wide-open looks from long range. Hart hasn’t been able to make the most of those 3-point attempts, but is a much stronger shooter at MSG and makes the Hawks pay for all that space on the perimeter.
