Tonight’s Action

Hawks at Knicks

Watch: 7:30 p.m. ET, TNT

Odds: Knicks -2 || O/U 213

Pick: Trae Young, who silenced the Garden crowd with 32 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in Game 1, will continue to be a handful for the Knicks.

But we still like Julius Randle and co. to bounce back. Lay the points with the Knicks and take the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Dodgers-Astros, the final score, and the combined strikeouts of starters Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. Los Angeles won 9-2, and the pitchers had a combined 11 Ks.

Subscriber Josh Goldberg (@joshuagoldberg6) had the Dodgers winning and was closest to the final score (7-4) and total strikeouts (12). Nice work, Josh!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
