Knicks are just 3-3-1 ATS in 7 games played when they’re favored by 7 or more points this season. Atlanta has won 6 of 7 games and despite getting beaten by Denver in their last game they’ll be up for this one. They beat the Knicks at home earlier this season, they have every right to hope for an upset here. I’m taking the road team plus the extra points.

Buffalo hasn’t won a game since November 23rd and are just one point from being last in the Eastern Conference. While shocking, the Sabres have not iced a full team with very high expectations in years. As for New York, struggling or not, their roster is stacked through and through. They outmatch Buffalo in all categories such as star talent, depth, goaltending, and special teams. This is also a veteran-savvy group that should be able to climb out of this hole quicker than their opponents. 

The Ducks come into this game having lost 3 in a row and continue to struggle to score goals. The Senators aren’t very good at keeping the puck out of their own net, but they do have a very good power play and generate a healthy amount of scoring chances. This is a game that Ottawa should be able to win as long as their goaltending is average.

Golden State has dominated this match-up for quite some time now, winning 15 games in a row. The Rockets were close to ending it in the 1st meeting of the season at Toyota Center, but they fell in OT. Tonight is a new chance to get the monkey off their backs, there won’t be a lack of motivation on their part. The Warriors are just 2-6 SU in their last 8 overall, so this might be Houston’s best chance of finally beating this team.
