The New York Knicks seek to advance in the NBA Cup and will host the Atlanta Hawks next in the quarter-finals. Victory here will set up a semi-final battle with the Milwaukee Bucks at a neutral venue. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Knicks are unbeaten in the Cup. They won all four of their group-stage matchups and will be confident of maintaining this streak and moving on to the last four. Tom Thibodeau’s men have been in splendid form, especially in their most recent outings.

They have won 10 of their last 13 games which has allowed them to maintain a top-four presence in the East standings. The Knicks are coming off a 113-108 road win over the Raptors.

The Hawks saw off the Knicks in their first meeting of the season 121-116 at home a month ago. They have now won the last two matchups and lost just once in their last four trips to New York.

This positive run should have them confident of going 2-0 up in this five-game season series. Quin Snyder’s men have been in fine form recently but are coming off a loss.

The Hawks saw a six-match winning streak snapped in cruel fashion at home by the Nuggets who won 141-111. Atlanta won their Cup group and were the best offensive side in the process.
