I really like Risacher to make a 3-pointer vs. the Knicks. He's ramped up his aggression to six attempts per game over his last four and has made at least one 3-pointer in seven of his eight games. The value isn't great, so I'm going to bet more. His shot is pretty confident and is a better bet to go in a couple times than his 21% clip so far suggests.
In games where Trae Young has played at least 30 minutes this season, he has topped this in all but one and is averaging 11.0 APG. Young only lasted 23 minutes last time out vs. Boston due to a rib issue but has been cleared for tonight. If the rib is an issue, that might mean more passing and less shooting. TY averaged 14.5 APG vs. New York last year. I obviously believe he gets this barring a reinjure/blowout. His Over has hit in eight of the past 10 when set at 9.5 helpers.
The Hawks have already played two more games than the Knicks, and they have been largely terrible. They are 1-7 ATS, and it often hasn't been close; they have failed to cover by 9.5 points in 4 of those losses and 2.5 in another. They can't defend a lick and the Knicks should be able to beat them up inside. Hawks have allowed 120+ points in 7 of 8 games. Knicks off to a solid start after laying an egg opening night.
OG Anunoby is shooting 44.8 percent from deep, and he has made at least three 3-pointers in each game of this road trip. On Wednesday he faces a Hawks team that plays a fast pace and gives up the most 3-point attempts (42.8) and 3-point makes (17.0) per game. Anunoby has played at least 34 minutes in every game this season. Look for him to drain at least two from beyond the arc.
