Hawks at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 117, Hawks 106
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on New York (-350), which is 8-3 at home, to win Wednesday.
Against the spread
BET KNICKS -7.5 (-110).
New York has won 7 of its last 10 games with 5 of its 7 wins coming by 15 or more points. It has covered 3 of its last 5 games overall, including 3 of its last 4 at home.
Atlanta is just 10-15 ATS this season, including 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games. It is 2-3 ATS in its last 5 road games and has failed to cover the spread in back-to-back games. Each of the Hawks’ last 4 losses have come by 10 or more points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 237.5 (-115).
This total is incredibly high, even for these teams. The Hawks have scored 119 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5 games while allowing 112 or fewer in 4 of their last 6.
The Knicks have scored 114 or fewer points in back-to-back games while allowing 108 or fewer in 5 of their last 6.
