Atlanta exercised Newell's third-year option Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
FanDuel. Mikal Bridges is under this line in 21 of the last 28 games he’s played alongside with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby. With those three stars healthy, as well as the Knicks reserves, I’m looking at fading the Knicks fourth/fifth option. Knicks coach Mike Brown has shown a willingness to go with his bench guys (Landry Shamet, Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson) for minutes at the expense of Bridges. The Hawks possess the NBA’s third best defense over the last fifteen games as well.
Atlanta has won 13 straight home games and is 18-2 SU in its last 20 games overall, with 16 of those wins by double digits. The Knicks have lost their last five games to teams above .500, and New York is just 21-19 SU on the road. Both teams are healthy. But the Hawks arguably have more to play for as they try to avoid the play-in tournament. You could argue the Knicks, currently the No. 3 seed, would benefit from dropping to the fourth seed so they could avoid Boston in the conference semis. Not that New York won't go all-out, but we've already heard Mike Brown say he wants to keep some wrinkles hidden from potential playoff opponents. Red-hot Atlanta is among them.
