Hawks at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 114, Knicks 108
Moneyline
I’ll take the HAWKS (+105) on the road despite their recent struggles. There has been some drama surrounding G Trae Young recently, so I expect him to have a productive outing.
Against the spread
Being that I took Atlanta to win on the road, HAWKS +1.5 (-105) is where I’m going in this game. The Knicks had lost 4 straight home games before beating the Cavaliers on Sunday.
While the Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record, the Knicks are 1-7-1 in their last 9 games following a win.
Over/Under
UNDER 233.5 (-115) appears to be the ideal wager in this game considering the recent trends. Atlanta is 23rd in true shooting percentage and New York is 27th.
The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the Hawks and the Knicks in New York, and it is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.
