Game Preview: Knicks at Hawks, April 6, 2026
The Knicks head face a surging Atlanta team as they look to maintain their hold on the third seed in the East.
Tonight, the Atlanta Hawks (45-33) host the Knicks (50*-28) at State Farm Arena. New York sits third in the Eastern Conference, having won two straight to improve to 7-3 in their last 10. The Knicks need to stay sharp in their last road game of the season, especially with the Cleveland Cavaliers on their heels. Atlanta, meanwhile, might be the league’s hottest team, riding a four-game win streak and sitting fifth in the East.
The season series is split 1-1. The teams last met on January 2 in New York, where the Hawks pulled off a 111-99 victory. Onyeka Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker both scored 23 points for the winners. On the home team’s side, Jalen Brunson racked up 24 points while Ariel Hukporti snared 16 boards.

NBA (0.5 Unit) NY Knicks @ Atlanta Hawks -1.5 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 6:00 PM CT on Peacock
The Hawks have flipped from short underdogs to short favorites in this one, and with good reason. To me, it’s simply a matter of which team has been doing well against quality competition, and Atlanta has a massive edge in that comparison. The Knicks haven’t beaten a playoff team in a month, as their 9-5 record has featured 8 wins against lottery teams and one against the Curry-less Warriors.
Atlanta on the other hand has gone 13-2 in the same stretch, with the only losses on the road against playoff teams. Otherwise they’ve posted a plus-17 point average margin in their wins, including plus-12.8 versus playoff teams. I trust where this Hawks team is much more than the Knicks right now, and I think the hot streak continues for one of the league’s better ATS teams.
