Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks: Betting tips

Trae Young enters the matchup against the New York Knicks with an over/under set at 19.5 points, slightly below his season average of 20.9 PPG. Despite surpassing the 19.5-point mark only once in his last five outings, Young is still favored to score at least 20 points. Given his history of strong performances at Madison Square Garden, it may be wise to trust the odds and bet on him to clear the 19.5-point threshold.
Jalen Johnson has an over/under of 19.5 points, which is marginally lower than his season average of 19.8 PPG. Unlike Young, Johnson has scored over 20 points in three of his last five games. While the odds suggest he will score less than 19.5 points, his recent form makes a case for taking the risk and betting on him to exceed that total.
Jalen Brunson is expected to score under 26.5 points against the Atlanta Hawks. His season average sits at 25.2 PPG, and he’s only reached 27 points or more once in his last five games. Brunson’s role as a playmaker this season further supports the odds that he will fall short of the 26.5-point mark, making an under bet a safer option.
Karl-Anthony Towns has an over/under of 25.5 points, a slight increase from his season average of 25.1 PPG. The odds favor him scoring fewer than 25.5 points, as he has only surpassed that total once in his last five games. Given the trend, betting on Towns to stay under 25.5 points appears to be the smarter play.
