Three best bets for tonight’s match

The Atlanta Hawks are back in action tonight at State Farm Arena, and after playing an Eastern Conference contender on Monday when they met the Celtics, they welcome the New York Knicks, who are expected to be at the top of the conference at the end of the season. This is the first game of the year between these two teams.

The Atlanta Hawks have been one of the most injured teams in the NBA this season, but they may actually have some good news coming their way. After missing the last six games, De’Andre Hunter (management of right knee injury) has been upgraded from out to questionable for tonight’s game. Not only that, Trae Young (right rib strain) is listed as probable for tonight. Young left Monday night’s game against the Celtics and did not return, but it’s a good sign that it doesn’t appear to be a long-term injury for the Hawks star point guard.

Heading into tonight, what are some of the best bets on the game?

The Hawks may have a matchup problem with Towns tonight. Capela is a good defender, but is better suited to protect the paint. Towns will get Capela out of the paint and stretch the floor, and he has a chance to own this matchup. Jalen Brunson is the favorite to be the top scorer, but I think Towns has the better matchup against the Hawks tonight and wouldn’t be surprised to see him finish with the most points in tonight’s game.

Young had a rough performance on Monday against Boston, scoring just two points, but I think he can bounce back. While the Knicks have good wing defenders in Bridges, Anunoby and Hart, the Knicks also have more weaknesses to exploit than Boston does. Brunson and Towns are weak defenders who can be targeted tonight and I think Young will find a way to get at least 25 points.

I picked Daniels to go over 10.5 on Monday and he went on to get to eight points quickly before not scoring again the rest of the game. The line has dropped for Daniel’s total points in this game and I’m going back to the well again. In four of the six games that Daniels has played this year, he has gone over 9.5 and I think he will find a way to tonight.
