💰 Best Knicks vs. Hawks prop bet
Jalen Johnson Under 37.5 points + rebounds + assists (-107)
This is an inflated combo total for Jalen Johnson, given what we've seen from him so far in this series. While a versatile forward that impacts the game in several ways for the Hawks, he hasn't approached 37.5 PRA.
His assist and rebounding totals are both well below his regular-season averages. And I think that could largely hold over the course of this matchup, because the Knicks rank fifth in rebounding rate and tied for sixth in opponent assists per game. DraftKings has the best odds for this player prop, offering a -107 price tag.
🔥 More Knicks vs. Hawks prop picks
Josh Hart Over 25.5 points + rebounds + assists (-105)
Do-it-all Knicks guard Josh Hart has been everywhere for New York this series, going Over this combo total in both Game 1 and Game 2.
He's particularly been a menace on the glass, averaging 13.5 boards through the first two games of the series. I like Hart to make it three straight games with at least 26 points + rebounds + assists, especially if his 3-point shot starts falling (he shot a career-best 41.3% from deep this season but has hit just one total 3-pointer in the series). I placed my bet at DraftKings' market-best -105 odds.
🚀 Knicks vs. Hawks same-game parlay
I like the Knicks to bounce back from their Game 2 loss and take the first matchup in Atlanta to retake the series lead while keeping Jalen Johnson Under his PRA total. DraftKings has the best odds on this parlay at +261.

💡 How I'm betting Knicks vs. Hawks
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
I'm betting a little less than 1.5 units on my two top player props for Knicks vs. Hawks.
That's 0.7 units on Johnson to go Under his PRA total and 0.5 units on Hart to go Over his, because I'm slightly more confident in the former outcome. However, both player props have a shared theme: the Knicks' rebounding advantage in this series (115-94 through two games).
