Hawks vs Knicks Betting Pick
This game will be played at Madison Square Garden at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, March 22, 2022.
Why Bet The Knicks:
✅ Atlanta beat New York in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs, but when it comes to their regular-season encounters, the Knicks have owned the Hawks as of late. New York has gone 11-2 straight up and 11-1-1 ATS in its previous 13 regular-season contests against Atlanta. Also, the Knicks are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four regular-season meetings with the Hawks at Madison Square Garden.
✅ The Hawks are way more dangerous when playing on the home court. They’ve been awful on the road over the last couple of months, which is another reason to back the Knicks in this matchup. Atlanta has gone 5-14 SU and 4-15 ATS in their last 19 games away from home.

✅ On paper, the Hawks are a much better offensive team than the Knicks, but Atlanta’s defense is a big issue. The Hawks yield 114.8 points per 100 possessions (27th in the NBA) on 47.0% shooting from the field (25th) and 36.4% from beyond the arc (26th). On the other side, the Knicks surrender 110.4 points per 100 possessions (11th) on 44.5% shooting from the field (5th) and 34.5% from beyond the arc (11th).
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks’ iffy form goes on, as Atlanta has dropped four of its last eight contests overall. During that stretch, the Hawks have covered the spread only once. They are coming off a surprising 117-112 defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans, who were listed as 5-point road underdogs.
Atlanta allowed a whopping 18 offensive rebounds to the Pels. Also, New Orleans accounted for 62 points in the paint. Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Hawks with 27 points on 11-for-21 shooting from the field, while Trae Young and Bogdan Bogdanovic added 21 points each. Atlanta is now sitting at the tenth spot of the Eastern Conference standings, four and a half games ahead of the No. 11 seed.
New York Knicks
The Knicks have gone 5-3 straight up and 6-2 ATS over their last eight outings. Last Sunday, New York failed to extend its winning streak to three games, suffering a 108-93 defeat to the Utah Jazz as 3.5-point home underdogs.
After beating Portland 128-98 and Washington 100-97, the Knicks couldn’t cope with Utah. New York shot only 37.3% from the field, though the Knicks went 16-for-40 from beyond the arc (40.0%). RJ Barrett led the charge with 24 points and seven rebounds, but Julius Randle had only 13 points on a terrible 6-for-21 shooting from the field.
