The Knicks and Timberwolves enter Saturday as slight favorites. Here are my expert picks for both playoff matchups on April 25.

The evening slate begins with Knicks vs. Hawks at 6 p.m. ET on NBC. Later, Nuggets vs. Timberwolves tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Both the Hawks and Timberwolves entered the series as underdogs, but a home win tonight gives each team a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Knicks vs. Hawks Prediction: Knicks ML (54%): Despite trailing the series 2-1 after a narrow one-point loss on Thursday, the Knicks' elite defense-which allows just 110.1 points per game-gives them a distinct edge in a must-win road spot. With New York coming in as slight 1.5-point favorites and Karl-Anthony Towns consistently crashing the glass, backing the Knicks' Moneyline at 54% probability is a solid value play for an expected bounce-back.

Nuggets vs. Timberwolves: Nikola Jokic Under 28.5 Points (43%): Jokic is coming off an uncharacteristically brutal shooting performance in Game 3, where Minnesota's collective defense held him to just 7-of-26 from the floor for 27 points. Given Rudy Gobert's success at making the superstar center work for every single bucket and the Timberwolves' stifling rim protection, taking the Under provides a strong, stats-backed angle.
