Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Hawks-Knicks, the final score, and the combined points of Trae Young and Julius Randle. New York won 101-92, with Young and Randle combining for 45.

Subscriber Tim Maher (@glenayrfarm) predicted a 109-106 Knicks victory and 50 points from Young and Randle. Nice job, Tim!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
