NBA Look Ahead; Saturday, Dec. 25, 2021

We’ve got a great week of NBA games slated for this week, and it’ll get started on Tuesday. The NBA is ramping up in intensity as we near the midway point of the season.

Positioning in the Eastern and Western Conference is starting to settle out as well. Although the lines aren’t available just yet, we can get a good idea of the winners of these ones.

We’ll be covering Atlanta Hawks against the New York Knicks. The Hawks will head to New York to take on the Knicks on Saturday, Dec. 25.

The Atlanta Hawks are trying to hold onto their spot in the Eastern Conference. When they head to New York to face the Knicks, they’ll be facing a team looking to get back in the top ten.

The Hawks recently lost by nearly twenty points to the Denver Nuggets. If they want to get a win over the Knicks, they need to play better defense. Denver scored 133 points against the Knicks. 

The New York Knicks secured a huge win over the Houston Rockets not long ago. Unfortunately, the injuries have really hurt the Knicks lately. Through their last five games, they’ve gone 1-4.

The Hawks are a tough offensive team, ranking No.5 in the NBA. We don’t see the Knicks winning this one here; take the Hawks on the road.
