Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Prediction – 4-18-2026 – NBA Betting Picks

This coming Saturday evening, the New York Knicks will play host to the Atlanta Hawks in the first game of the NBA season at Madison Square Garden. This is a prediction for the Knicks versus the Hawks. A pick for the Knicks versus the Hawks will be included in this post.

Due to the fact that they won 19 of their final 24 games, the Atlanta Hawks concluded the regular season with a record of 46-36 overall, which was sufficient to earn them the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. This momentum allowed them to finish the season with a lot of momentum. Jalen Johnson led the club in scoring with averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game; Nickeil Alexander-Walker averaged 20.8 points per game; and CJ McCollum, who was acquired in the middle of the season, contributed with averages of 18.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. With a field goal percentage of 47.4 percent and a three-point field goal percentage of 37.1 percent, the Hawks averaged 118.5 points per game with their collective efforts.

During this time, the New York Knicks have been in excellent shape, as evidenced by the fact that they have won 12 of their most recent 16 games and finished with an overall record of 53-29. This record was sufficient to earn them the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Jalen Brunson led the team in scoring with averages of 26.0 points and 6.8 assists per game; Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 20.1 points and 11.9 rebounds per game; and OG Anunoby averaged 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game. Brunson led the team in rebounding with an average of 11.9 rebounds per game. The New York Knicks averaged 116.5 points per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from beyond the three-point line from the standpoint of the team. The New York Knicks have improved from the previous season in every aspect, including overall wins, offensive rating, and defensive rating, and they appear to be well positioned to make a deep run in the playoffs this year.

In their last ten games against teams from the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have been victorious in every single one of those matchups.
Seven out of the Hawks’ last eight postseason games played away from home have been losses.
During their most recent six home games against teams from the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have covered the spread in every single one of those games.
Due to the fact that they are underdogs, the Hawks have not been able to cover the spread in four of their last five games.
Out of the last five games that the Knicks have played in the Eastern Conference First Round, the underdogs have won four of them.
Over the past four games in the Eastern Conference First Round, the Knicks have been the home favorites, yet they have lost three of those games.
Every single one of the Hawks’ last eight night games played at Madison Square Garden has resulted in them covering the spread seven times.
The Knicks have not been able to cover the spread in any of their last six games that have taken place on Saturday nights.
In the nine most recent Saturday night games played by the Hawks, the total number of points scored has been OVER the line.
Every single one of the Knicks’ most recent five home games in the Eastern Conference First Round against teams from the Southeast Division has ended with the total number of points falling UNDER the line.
Over the course of this season, Mikal Bridges is one of only seven players in the NBA to have earned seven or more thefts in a single game.
Over the course of this season, Landry Shamet is one of only eight players who have scored more than 35 points off the bench in a single game.
With a total of 10.0 offensive rebounds per game against their opponents, the Knicks are now in first place in the league.
This year, the Knicks have the highest Q4 opponent points per game (25.3), which places them in first place in the league.
In terms of assists per game, the Hawks are currently ranked first in the league with a total of 30.1.
On November 16, the Hawks defeated the Suns by a score of 18 points after trailing by 18 points in the third quarter. This was the Bulls’ greatest comeback victory of the season.

The Knicks anticipate that they will be in full health after giving their players a rest in their final game of the regular season, while the Hawks should be able to enter the game with a complete roster, with the exception of Jock Landale, who is now sidelined with an injury. These clubs competed against one another three times during the season, with the Knicks emerging victorious in the series by a score of 2-1. However, with the Knicks’ two victories coming by a margin of just three points each, the outcome could have been anything. In light of the fact that the Hawks have appeared to be a newly redesigned squad ever since they parted ways with Trae Young, and that they come into this matchup as perhaps the more formidable team, the Knicks are under a great deal of pressure to get off to a strong start and attempt to draw first blood in a series that has the potential to go the distance. Although I continue to believe that the Knicks are doing enough to get the job done at home, I believe that this game will come down to the wire, which means that the points could come in useful.
