With the Knicks holding a 3-2 lead after five games in their NBA Playoffs first-round series against the Hawks, traders unanimously price Over 5.5 total games at 100% implied probability, as a best-of-7 matchup now guarantees at least six contests regardless of Game 6's result—a 4-2 Knicks win or 3-3 tie forcing Game 7. This lock-in stems from a tightly contested early stretch, split 2-2 through four games with Hawks' clutch road victories in Games 2 (107-106) and 3 (109-108), before New York's dominant 126-97 Game 5 rout led by Jalen Brunson's 39 points exploiting Atlanta's frontcourt depth issues. Only an unprecedented cancellation, injury crisis, or league-mandated forfeiture could derail this outcome, scenarios bettors deem negligible given standard playoff protocols.
