New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks: Current situation
The win over Toronto improved the Knicks record to 15-9 which kept them 4th in the Eastern Conference, 2 games ahead of the Miami Heat. They also trail the Orlando Magic by just 2 wins in 3rd place and with the injury to Franz Wagner, it’s only a matter of time when the Knicks can pull in front. Mitchell Robinson is the Knicks’ only injury concern right now, his comeback is expected some time in January.
Losing to the Nuggets by 30 points at home brough the Hawks a little bit back down to Earth after their 6-game win streak was snapped. That run elevated them all the way up to 7th place in the Eastern Conference, just around .500 mark where they have been for the past several seasons. Atlanta’s best player Trae Young is averaging 20.9 points and 12.2 assists per game, but his efficiency has been really bad this season at just 38.5% from the field and 31% from three.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
A total of 3 Knicks players scored 20+ points in their latest win over Toronto. The high point man was once again Karl-Anthony Towns with 24 and 15 rebounds, he has been their biggest revelation so far this season. With just 8 players participating in that game, head coach Tom Thibodeau has made it pretty clear that he is shortening his rotation and giving minutes only to his most reliable players, something that coaches only do in the playoffs.
Atlanta Hawks Stats & Form
Atlanta will also have to do something similar on Wednesday, but with Bogdan Bogdanovic, Jalen Johnson and Cody Zeller all questionable to play here, that’ll be easier said than done. Three-point shooting has been off for Atlanta for quite some time now. Over their last 10 games they have 6 games of 10 or less threes made, it is hard to win in the NBA when you’re not knocking down the deep shot.
New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks: Head-to-Head
The Knicks and Hawks have played each other a total of 392 times during the regular season, with Atlanta holding a slight edge with 202 wins to 190 by the Knicks. Winning the first meeting of the season means that the Hawks have now won 2 straight games head-to-head, prior to that the Knicks were on a 3-game win streak of their own.
New York Knicks – Atlanta Hawks Odds
Backing the Knicks in front of a packed Madison Square Garden will get you just 1/3 odds. For an upset Atlanta Hawks win, you can get odds of up to 12/5.
The point total has been set at a whopping 236.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks (11.12.2024)
The history between Trae Young and the New York Knicks is well documented, this match-up will only add to the already existing tension between him and the crowd at MSG. Going into this game the Hawks and Knicks have combined to win 11 of their last 13 games overall, which should make for a competitive match-up. Most oddsmakers have the Knicks as 7.5 point favorites here, we’d say that is a bit of an overreaction after Atlanta’s home loss to Denver. With this being an elimination game both teams will put in the extra effort on both ends, so we should expect a close outcome. The Hawks also beat New York 121-116 back in early November when the two teams met for the first time this season, so we shouldn’t underestimate the revenge factor here for the home team. New York is a strong 8-3 SU at Madison Square Garden, in their latest win over Toronto they got big man Karl-Anthony Towns back in the line-up after he sat out in the loss to Detroit over the weekend. We just saw how the Hawks got annihilated by Nikola Jokic, they have really big issues dealing with versatile big men so don’t be surprised if KAT has a massive stat line in this game. Atlanta’s three-point defense is another thing that needs pointing out here – they are dead last in opponent efficiency from deep, allowing 38.7% of shots to go in. Over their last 3 games that number has increased to 40.2%, that’s troublesome against a Knicks team that ranks 2nd in three-point efficiency. We’ll be taking the Knicks to advance here.
