Knicks at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 120, Knicks 115
Moneyline
The HAWKS (-145) are worth a look on the moneyline if you don’t want to bother with laying the points in a potentially close game.
Atlanta has won 2 of the first 3 games this season, and that’s a good reason to back it on the home floor Wednesday.
Against the spread
HAWKS -2.5 (-118) is the play, as Atlanta is an impressive 17-5 ATS in the past 22 home games against teams with a winning road record and 6-1 ATS in the past 7 games when playing on a day of rest. The Knicks are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 road games against teams with a winning home mark.
Over/Under
OVER 232.5 (-108) is a strong play despite a rather high number.
The Over is 7-3 in the past 10 games overall for the Knicks while going 5-1 in the past 6 games on the road.
In addition, the Over has connected in 25 of the previous 37 meetings between these teams in Atlanta.
