On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Knicks enter as a 6.5-point favorite at home with -250 odds to win on the Moneyline. The game total is set at 213.5 combined points.

Here are the top Hawks vs. Knicks prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for this Tuesday night NBA Playoffs matchup.

Best Hawks vs. Knicks player prop bets

OG Anunoby over 23.5 PTS + REB (-120)

An unsung hero of the Knicks’ season, OG Anunoby has been excellent. He gets less shine than Brunson and Towns but is just as crucial to his team’s success, averaging 16.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game during the regular season while shooting 48.4% from the field and 38.6% from deep. He ranks third on the team in shot volume with 12.0 FGA per contest as well, earning elite two-way status as far as high-end role players go. He knows exactly what his job is on any given night, but remains capable of elevating his game when necessary as well.

Anunoby’s play in the postseason thus far has been particularly strong. He posted an efficient 18 points on just nine shots in the Knicks’ first win and dropped 22 points in their second one to tie the series. He scored 14 and 29 points in the two losses, and he’s also also hauled in at least eight rebounds in all four games. With that production, he’s averaging 20.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in the NBA Playoffs. Those marks add up to 29.6 PTS + REB, comfortably clearing tonight’s line of 23.5.

The talented forward has posted totals of 26, 22, 38 and 32 PTS + REB across his playoff appearances thus far, so he’s crossed over the 23.5 threshold in three of those four contests. Here’s the part that should further reinforce why this prop is a good one — Anunoby has gone over 23.5 PTS + AST in seven of his last eight matchups against the Hawks dating back to April 2025. If we narrow that down to just this season, he’s eclipsed it in six of his last seven. This is a very strong play for tonight.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker over 17.5 points (-110)

Now the reigning winner of the Most Improved Player Award, Nickeil Alexander-Walker has proven the doubters wrong. This season has been the best of his career with 20.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 39.9% from deep as well. It turns out a change of scenery in Atlanta and a coaching staff that believes in his abilities are all he needed to really unlock his game.

Yeah, it’s been an admittedly rough series for Alexander-Walker so far. He’s scoring only 13.8 points per game, and while his three-point shooting looks quite good at 43.3%, his finishing inside the arc has cratered to a lowly 34.6%. That’s a serious issue, but it may not last for the rest of the best-of-seven. Across three games against the Knicks during the regular season, he averaged a whopping 28.0 points while shooting 50.9% overall and 45.5% from beyond the arc. Perhaps this defense has found ways to bother him, but he also showed earlier in the campaign that he’s capable of putting up numbers against New York.

Given that past success, I like getting the over on 17.5 points for Alexander-Walker tonight. Sure, he’s stayed at 17 or fewer in all four games so far, but he went over this line 52 times in 78 regular-season games and all three against the Knicks. That’s good for a hit rate of 66.67%, an extremely reliable mark. I do think that the Hawks will find ways to get Alexander-Walker more involved, so the over on a low line makes plenty of sense.
