My Hawks vs. Knicks player props for Game 2 tonight feature CJ McCollum Over 18.5 points (-106). He has had 19+ shot attempts in each of his last two games vs. the Knicks. My second NBA best bet is OG Anunoby Under 2.5 three-pointers made (-155), as he has gone under this line in three of his four games against the Hawks this season.

💰 Best Hawks vs. Knicks prop bet

Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

CJ McCollum Over 18.5 points (-106)

Atlanta's roster is young, and McCollum seems to be the focal point of the offense as the Hawks take on a Knicks group loaded with veterans.

McCollum has crucial playoff experience - he was the No. 2 option on a Portland squad that advanced to the conference finals - and coach Quin Snyder is leaning into that, with McCollum pacing Atlanta in field-goal attempts with 20 in Game 1.

DraftKings has McCollum Over 18.5 points at -106, but this bet is good up to -125 on the best sports betting sites. I also feature this bet in my NBA player props tonight.

🔥 More Hawks vs. Knicks prop picks

The Knicks have the sixth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.

OG Anunoby Under 2.5 three-pointers made (-155)

Anunoby just doesn’t get as many opportunities to shoot 3-pointers against the Hawks as he does against other teams.

He has made two or fewer three-pointers in three of his four meetings with the Hawks this season and attempted just three shots from beyond the arc in Game 1.

If Anunoby attempts five or fewer 3-pointers tonight, this bet will likely cash. Anunoby Under 2.5 three-pointers made is -155 at BetMGM, but I would play this up to -175 on the best sports betting apps.

🚀 Hawks vs. Knicks same-game parlay

I like the Knicks to go under their team total of 111.5, but bet365 is pricing that bet properly in a parlay with McCollum Over 18.5 points. So, I’m betting Under 217.5 as a derivative of Knicks Under 111.5. Bet365 prices the parlay of his Over on points with Under 217.5 at +330 - I think it should be lower. FanDuel offers the same parlay at +320.

💡 How I'm betting Hawks vs. Knicks: NBA Playoffs Game 2 strategy

I'm putting 1.06 units on McCollum Over 18.5 points - my standard stake for a player prop with a small edge. While I like the bet directionally, the line isn't far off from my own number. My conviction is a bit lower on Anunoby Under 2.5 three-pointers made, though I still believe it has a greater than 61% chance of hitting.
