Oddsmakers currently have the Hawks listed as 13½-point favorites versus the Knicks, while the game’s total is sitting at 197.
Atlanta had a four-game winning streak snapped by the Wizards but put up a fight even with its first string sitting out. The watered-down lineup didn’t get the job done at the defensive end, though, giving up 29 fast-break points and allowing Washington to shoot 42.9 percent from 3-point range. The Hawks have made 799 3-pointers this season, two behind the 2007-08 Magic for 10th most in NBA history.
Atlanta was a 108-99 loser in its last match on the road against the Wizards. They earned a push of the +9-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 207 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 60-20 SU,49-30-1 ATS

New York is nearing a merciful end to the worst season in franchise history and does so with a lineup devoid of stars. Fourth-year center Cole Aldrich was the closest thing the Knicks had against the Magic, as he put up a career-high 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the ugly victory. The Knicks haven’t won back-to-back games since late February.
The Knicks were a 80-79 winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Magic. They covered the +11-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (159) made winners of UNDER bettors.
