Two of the hotter teams in the Association square off in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup on Wednesday night as the Atlanta Hawks (13-12, 6-6 away, 10-15 ATS) visit the New York Knicks (15-9, 8-3 home, 11-12-1 ATS) at Madison Square Garden at 7:10 pm ET. Though the Hawks have certainly upped their game the past two weeks, the Knicks are still big favorites in Wednesday’s NBA odds.

Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Odds

Teams Spread Moneyline Total
Atlanta Hawks +7.5 (-105) +260 O 236.5 (-115)
New York Knicks -7.5 (-115) -320 U 236.5 (-105)

The Hawks vs Knicks odds favor New York by 7.5 points and set the home side as a -320 moneyline favorite, which amounts to a 76.19% implied win probability. The Hawks come back at +260 to win straight-up, a 27.78% implied win probability.  Odds as of Dec. 11 at ESPN Bet. New users can claim an ESPN Bet promo to get a bonus for the NBA Cup.

One of the reasons New York is laying so many points is injuries on the Atlanta side. Bogdan Bogdanovic (12.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.1 APG,) is questionable with a quad injury; Jalen Johnson (19.8 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 5.5 APG) is questionable with a shoulder injury, while Trae Young (20.9 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 12.2 APG) and De’Andre Hunter (19.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 1.3 APG) are both probable with Achilles and knee issues, respectively.

That quartet comprises four of Atlanta’s top-five scorers. Neither Bogdanovic nor Johnson played in Atlanta’s last game, an ugly 141-11 blowout at home against the Nuggets on Sunday, which ended Atlanta’s six-game win streak.

The Knicks aren’t fully healthy, either. Josh Hart (13.9 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 5.5 APG) is questionable due to a sprained ankle, while Karl-Anthony Towns (25.1 PPG, 13.3 RPG, 3.1 APG) is dealing with a knee injury and is listed as probable.

Both played last time out, a 115-108 win at Toronto on Monday, with Towns scoring a team-high 24 points and grabbing a game-high 15 rebounds while also dishing out six assists.

Wednesday’s NBA player props list Jalen Brunson (25.2 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 7.8 APG) with a game-high point total of 27.5 followed by Towns at 26.5. Young has the highest total on the Atlanta side at just 21.5.

Towns has the highest rebound total at 12.5, which is three higher than any other player on the board.

Young, the NBA’s assist leader, has a massive assist total of 11.5. Young’s 12.2 APG average is a full two assists higher than any other player in the league.

Hawks vs Knicks Predictions

Atlanta went on an impressive run from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. Not only did they win six in a row, those wins included two victories over the NBA-leading Cavaliers, plus the Bucks and the Lakers. But I have very little confidence the injury-riddled Hawks are going to maintain that level of play for any extended period of time. We already saw the first steps on the road to regression last time out.

With Johnson and Bogdanovic both questionable again, I expect a fairly decisive win for New York tonight on their home court, where they’ve won seven of their last eight. The one loss in that span was their most-recent home game against Detroit on Saturday (120-111). The Knicks haven’t lost back-to-back home games since Feb. 27 and 29 last season. A bounce-back effort is likely.

But with all the injuries on the Atlanta side, I expect Young to shoulder a bigger scoring load that he usually does, so I’m also betting the over on his point total at 21.5.

  • Knicks -5.5 (-156) at FanDuel
  • Young over 21.5 points (-110) at DraftKings
