The Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks duke it out at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. Here’s an Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Prediction. This article will include an Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Pick.
Atlanta HawksÂ
The Atlanta Hawks have been in great shape as they were riding a six-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Nuggets in a 141-111 loss on Sunday. De’Andre Hunter led the team with 20 points off the bench, Dyson Daniels added 18 points with six assists and five steals while Larry Nance Jr chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Hawks shot just 40 percent from the field and nine of 40 from the 3-point line, but they were terrible on the defensive end, allowing 38 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits right away and things didn’t get much better in the second half as they just had no answer for the Nuggets.Â
New York KnicksÂ
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been in fine form as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after outlasting the Raptors in a 113-108 road win on Monday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and six assists, Mikal Bridges added 23 points while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 20 points and 11 assists. As a team, the Knicks shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 40 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Raptors in a close contest, until the fourth quarter where they held the Raptors to just 22 points to escape with the narrow win on the road.Â

Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Hawks could be shorthanded again with Jalen Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic both listed as questionable, while the Knicks are keeping an eye on Josh Hart who is questionable for this one. These two teams last met on Nov 6 and it was the Hawks who won by 121-116 thanks to big games from Trae Young and Zaccharie Risacher, so the Knicks will be out for revenge in this one. You can make an argument for either side, but while the Knicks should be good enough to get the win, I prefer the Hawks to at least keep this one close till the end.Â
