The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks are 3-3 this season but they have been rolling over teams at home as they are still perfect there through 3 games. They were a team that struggled to put all of their pieces together last season but they have really been hitting their stride now. They have played very well in their losses too keeping some of those games really close and the Hawks have not been a very good road team over the last few years. They just took a loss in Toronto the other night and they don't really play defense well in their games either. The Knicks will have a good defensive effort in this home game and it will be difficult for the Hawks to keep up in scoring here, especially if they rely too much on the 3. The Knicks are looking to have a much better season than they did last year since they did go to the playoffs the year before that. The Knicks will be looking to keep their perfect home record this season and get another win over the Hawks here, a team they do not have many fond memories of. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
