The Line: Betting Odds: Atlanta Hawks +7.5 — Over/Under: 224.5
The New York Knicks invade the State Farm Arena to battle the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. Here’s a New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
New York KnicksÂ
The New York Knicks have been in decent shape as they’ve split their first six games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting thrashed by the Rockets in a 109-97 road defeat on Monday. Jalen Brunson led the team with 29 points and eight assists, OG Anunoby added 21 points while Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 17 points with 19 rebounds. As a team, the Knicks shot just 38 percent from the field and 11 of 28 from the 3-point line as they did their best to stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter where the Rockets went on a final run to pull away and snap the Knicks’ two-game win streak. The Knicks got just three points from their bench players and Miles McBride had a forgettable night as he finished scoreless on zero of nine shooting in 26 minutes off the bench.Â
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a major slump as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting embarrassed by the Celtics in a 123-93 home loss on Monday. Jalen Johnson led the team in scoring with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists, Onyeka Okongwu added 18 points with 10 rebounds off the bench while Zaccharie Risacher chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Hawks shot just 41 percent from the field and six of 31 from the 3-point line, but the writing was on the wall early in this one as the Hawks knew they never had a shot after falling behind by 75-55 in the first half. Trae Young had probably the worst game of his career as he scored just two points on one of 10 shooting with three turnovers.Â

New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Knicks are still missing some players with Mitchell Robinson and Cameron Payne both on the injury report, while the Hawks will again be without Cody Zeller, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Seth Lundy. The Hawks have been doing it tough lately and they are coming into this one fresh off an ugly loss to the Celtics with Young having his worst game in recent memory. The Knicks are the team in better form, they are relatively healthy and they should have little trouble beating this slumping Hawks squad. The line is reasonable for this one, so I am looking at the Knicks to escape with the win and cover here.
