Mike Miller is paying immediate dividends for Knicks backers since taking over for David Fizdale as coach.
They return to the Garden on Tuesday to play Atlanta after closing out a Western swing with three straight covers. Since the last time we checked in on the Knickerbockers:
- They (+5) upset Golden State, 124-122 in overtime. If you stayed up late to watch on TV, you saw improved effort all over the floor. The Knicks won rebounding, 58-46, which is a great indicator stat for hustle. Sure, Golden State is horrible. But, you can tell from the point spread that betting market saw the Knicks as even worse entering the game.
