Hawks vs Knicks

The New York Knicks visit the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. We continue our NBA odds series with a Knicks-Hawks prediction, pick, and how to watch.

They’ve shot up the Eastern Conference standings and thereby have a great chance of covering tonight against a Knicks team they already beat by 13 in New York this season. Although Randle struggled in the first meeting with Atlanta, he had one of his best games of the season in their most recent matchup. Murray remains a pest on defense as well, with 1.5 steals per game but his biggest impact has come as a scorer. Randle finds himself in the midst of a bounce-back year. Across their last five games, Brunson leads New York with 30.6 PPG and 4.4 APG. Despite playing just 29 minutes per game over their last five games, Quickly ranks fourth on the team with 15.6 PPG. The Knicks covered 55% of their games while 50% went over the projected point total. An underrated part of New York’s recent game plan has been sixth man Immanuel Quickley. The Hawks covered 43% of their games while 56% went over. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks rank third in rebounding (56.8 RPG) and should see a ton of success against Atlanta’s 23rd-ranked unit. Perhaps the biggest reason why New York can cover tonight is the play of forward Julius Randle.

This is a poor matchup on the road and I’m comfortable betting the Hawks up to -4. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. Perhaps that could provide a needed refresh for the Hawks on offense. As we’ll get to in a second, that should be a major factor on Friday. After missing 10 games, he’s returned with 28 points on 13-of-17 shooting in roughly 21 minutes per game. While Robinson stands among the league’s elite big men with a 43.4% Trae Young is listed as questionable here with left ankle soreness, and Bogdan Bogdanovic is also questionable with knee soreness. Now, they have to face life without a vital part of their defense and (surprisingly) offense. Those are two critical pieces for this team, though Bogdanovic has been in a bit of a funk of late with a 27.3% field goal percentage in the last three games and four three-pointers in his last 17 attempts. With his primary backup, Isaiah Hartenstein, New York is scoring 110.3 points per 100 possessions. [Knicks](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/new-york-knicks) are in a bit of turmoil at the moment, and running into a red-hot Atlanta [Hawks](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/atlanta-hawks) team at State Farm Arena is the last thing they need.

They are also top-15 in rebounds and top-10 in blocks per game this season. They are top-10 in points scored and top-15 in assists. Dejounte Murray has also been a big asset since joining the Hawks and is the second-leading scorer and leads the team in steals too. There’s no over/under listed just yet. There’s no over/under listed yet, but expect it to be listed decently high because each of these teams can score, but also play defense. The Hawks are on a four-game winning streak with the lates coming against the Mavericks on the road.
