For Wednesday, November 7, 2024, the New York Knicks will face off against the Atlanta Hawks in what promises to be an intriguing matchup.
Prediction:
The Knicks have had a strong start to the season, powered by their defense and the consistent play of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. Their emphasis on team defense, led by defensive-minded players like Mitchell Robinson, gives them a solid edge. However, the Hawks have a potent offense with Trae Young leading the charge, capable of turning games with his scoring and playmaking ability. The game will likely be close, with the Knicks’ defense being the key to keeping Trae Young in check.
Odds:

– **Hawks**: +2.5 (underdog)
Picks:
1. **Knicks -2.5**: Given their defense and home-court advantage, the Knicks are likely to cover the spread in a close game.
2. **Over/Under 224**: With both teams capable of scoring, this one might go over, especially if the Hawks find success from deep.
3. **Player Props**: Look for Julius Randle to go over on points, and consider betting on Trae Young assists, as he’ll likely be distributing the ball frequently.
In the end, the Knicks are a slight favorite due to their solid overall play, but the game should be competitive, with the Hawks having the potential to pull off an upset.
