Game Preview

The Knicks are hoping to see Jalen Brunson back on the court. He is one of the best players in the league this year—7th in scoring with 26.3 points and 8th in assists with 7.4.

His Knicks had three straight wins until losing to the No.1 seed in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers, 124-105, on the road in Ohio.

The Hawks played against the Toronto Raptors in Canada last night. Before that, Quin Snyder’s unit had only one win in five games. Their schedule was hard, with only one event in Georgia and all others on the road.

The No.1 pick in this year’s NBA draft, Zaccharie Risacher improves. Over the last 10 games he averaged 16.5 points, posting 36 in the win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

  • TOTAL went UNDER in 5 of the last 6 games the Knicks played on the road.
  • Knicks are 5-2 STRAIGHT UP in the previous 7 games.
  • The TOTAL went OVER in 7 of the Hawks’s last 9 NBA games.
  • Atlanta is 1-4 STRAIGHT UP in the latest 5 events.

Knicks vs. Hawks Betting Predictions

We will go with OVER 230.5 points in this one. Atlanta’s matches bring plenty of points, and if Brunson comes back, the Knicks will also speed up. Therefore, this is our pick, which might be risky, yet has great value.
