Knicks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 112, Hawks 106

Moneyline

BET KNICKS +105.

The Knicks are the better team, but they faced one of the best teams in the East in their 1st game and went toe-to-toe with them. They bounce back on the road in Atlanta and win this game.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is no real advantage to taking the spread when you can just take the Knicks to win straight up on the moneyline for better odds.

New York was 29-17-1 ATS on the road last season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-110)

New York is a very defensive-minded team and they take pride in not letting games get out of hand. The Knicks allowed 111.5 points per game last season which was the 7th-lowest in the NBA.

These teams have gone Under the total in 3 of their last 4 meetings.

Knicks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 118, Knicks 114

Moneyline

PASS.

Considering the value difference between the moneyline and spread, I’d back the Hawks and give the points here.

Against the spread

BET HAWKS -2.5 (-112).

The Knicks are 4-4 straight up without Robinson, with all their losses coming by double figures and only 1 win by that amount. The absence of Robinson will make C Clint Capela more effective.

While New York will do its best to exploit Young, G Dejounte Murray and F De’Andre Hunter will likely stick G Jalen Brunson and F RJ Barrett. The defensive abilities Atlanta has there should slow down the Knicks’ key weapons.

The Knicks are also 0-2 ATS in their last 2 while Atlanta is surging, covering 3 in a row and winning 4 in a row. At home, back the HAWKS -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229.5 (-115).

The Hawks have gone Over in 2 straight, scoring at least 120 in each of those games. They are 25-20 O/U this season. The Knicks are 23-22-1, so both teams have been better at hitting the projected Over. New York is 4-3-1 O/U in its last 8 games.

Both teams are averaging over 114 points per game this season. The Hawks rank 9th in the NBA in pace and should push the tempo at home against a rival. Back the OVER 228.5 (-105).

New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (21-21) travel to Phillips Arena Saturday to take on the Atlanta Hawks (17-24). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Knicks vs. Hawks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Knicks have once again been dependent on their defense, although their play certainly hasn’t lived up to the standard they set last season.

New York is just 20-22 ATS on the year. The Knicks are 7-3 over their last 10, covering 4 of their last 5. New York has the fourth-best opponents’ field goal percentage.

That said, the real letdown this season has been Atlanta, who is just 15-26 ATS. The Hawks are just 2-8 ATS over their last 10.

The weakness for Atlanta is its 25th-best defense, ranking in the bottom third of the league in opponents’ three-point percentage and free-throw percentage. Nonetheless, they’ll be favorites at home.

Knicks at Hawks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 106, Knicks 99

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Knicks have won six straight against Atlanta, so while I like the Hawks in this situation, I’d prefer the better odds than to lay anything on their money line.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the HAWKS -2.5 (-115).

As noted, the Knicks aren’t quite the same team they were a season ago, bringing in scorers like G Evan Fournier and Walker. They’ve sacrificed much-needed defending to allot minutes to their stars.

Atlanta should be able to abuse a weaker defense.  That said, in both matchups, Atlanta has been down key players. In the most recent meeting, they were without superstar Trae Young. Before that, Bogdan Bogdanovic played just 10 minutes. Both Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter combined to go 0-for-8 in that game as well. Regressing to their mean, the Hawks, who have the size to deal with Mitchell Robinson, should be able to break down a weak New York defense.

Also, the Hawks shooting the fourth-highest percentage from deep while the Knicks allow the 14th-best 3-point shooting. Overall, I’ll side with the healthier Hawks.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 212.5 (-108).

These two teams have met twice this season. In both battles, the two sides combined for under 190 points. This is just a gritty battle that doesn’t typically involve much quick offense.

The Hawks rank 18th in pace, but it’s the Knicks style of play that makes betting on points unlikely. They rank dead-last in pace. The Knicks are just 17-25 on the O/U this season.

Lastly, this game opened at 214.5, and it has already churned down two points, meaning either there is reverse-line movement or a ton of sharp money on the Under.

Either way, the Under is the better play here.

Team at Team odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 106, Hawks 102

Money line

The Knicks have followed up their last three losses with wins and lost last night to the hottest team in the league. They are 5-3 on the road.

The Hawks are playing equally well and have won the last eight games in which they were favored. They have not lost at home since November 4.

Take the KNICKS (+190) for the upset win.

Against the spread

The Knicks are 8-11 ATS and are 4-4 ATS on the road.

The Hawks are 9-11 ATS overall but 7-2 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in six of their seven straight wins.

All streaks eventually come to a close. Since I expect the Knicks to get the outright win, take the KNICKS +5.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Ten of the Knicks’ last 12 games have stayed Under the projected total. They are 7-12 O/U this season.

The Hawks are 10-10 O/U but their last three contests, and four of the last six, have hit the Over.

Take UNDER 216.5 (-108).

New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (3-3) are in the Big Peach Monday to play the Atlanta Hawks (4-2) at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Hawks NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

New York went on the road and beat an Indiana Pacers team favored by 9.5 points 106-102 Saturday. To steal an old sports adage, the Knicks just wanted it more, as they out-rebounded the Pacers 60-37 and outscored them 56-26 in the paint.

The Hawks lost 96-91 at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers their last time out. Atlanta had an off-night shooting—making just 41.2% of its field goals and 52.6% of its free throws. The Hawks fell off the cliff in the second half, scoring just 35 points.

Last season’s Knicks-Hawks meetings were explosive affairs. The Knicks won two of the three games (2-0-1 ATS) with the last two contests going to overtime and all three going Over the total by at least 35 points.

Knicks at Hawks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 111, Hawks 108

Money line (ML)

I lean KNICKS (+230) for a half-unit since I am taking New York plus the points and betting an underdog’s money line and spread fits my long-term NBA betting strategy.

New York won last year’s season series and with two of Atlanta’s three offseason acquisitions being on the injury report I’d argue the Knicks hiring Tom Thibodeau as head coach makes them more improved year over year for this game. Until the Hawks can have consistent offense regardless of 3-point shooting and proves themselves on defense, I am not buying any Atlanta stock.

Against the spread (ATS)

This is an excellent fade the market spot with 72% of the money coming in on Atlanta, according to Pregame.com. The Knicks are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven vs. the Hawks.

Also, New York is 3-3 outright and ATS despite playing the NBA’s toughest schedule, according to Basketball-Reference.com.

GIMME KNICKS +7.5 (-120) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS ON THE TOTAL. Part of me thinks the Knicks and Hawks will continue last year’s trend of cashing Overs since Atlanta is second in offensive efficiency and 17th in defensive efficiency but it’s puzzling that Monday’s total is projected to be lower than the previous seven games despite the recent head-to-head trends.

Furthermore, bettors know how bad New York’s offense can be yet they are 2-4 O/U this season and the Hawks have the same O/U record even though they are second in points per game.
