Atlanta at New York

2025-26 NBA Championship

April 28, 2026
img8:00 PM Eastern

New York is back on track following two one-point losses as the Knicks won Game 4 handily, 114-98. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 points and had his first postseason triple-double. Atlanta shot 41 percent overall and missed 31 of 41 3-pointers, which kept the game UNDER the total. The Hawks have lost 10 of 15 Tuesday games, and New York is 7-2 ATS in its past nine games, 5-1 ATS at home. Five of the past six meetings have gone UNDER, and the Knicks are 48-39 UNDER on the season. New York came out with more urgency and energy on Saturday as their postseason experience was on display. Those attributes will continue to shine in Game 5 against the Hawks, who are fortunate the series is tied rather than over. New York is 29-14 ATS at home. Take the Knicks to cover, and go big on the UNDER.
