Zach Thompson details his best player prop bets for Saturday’s NBA playoff matchup between the Knicks and the Hawks.
The New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks square off in Game 4 of their first-round Eastern Conference Playoff series in Atlanta on Saturday night, with tip-off at 6:00 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena on NBC/Peacock. The Knicks took Game 1, but the Hawks stormed back and won Game 2 on the road and Game 3 at home to take a 2-1 series lead. The Knicks will look to level the series Saturday night, while the Hawks will look to push their lead to 3-1. Let’s get ready for the action by looking at a few of the top player prop bets to consider from this Knicks-Hawks matchup.
Overall, the Knicks are 1.5-point road favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game total at O/U 214.5 points. The Hawks are slight -130 favorites to win the series, with the Knicks at +100 to rally and advance.
The injury report for both teams is pretty much empty, with only Jock Landale (ankle) unavailable and no Knicks listed at all. With all the main pieces of the rotations ready to roll, the stage is set for a huge Game 4. Let’s take a look at which Knicks-Hawks player props can deliver good value this Saturday night.
Daniels’ offensive production has been inconsistent since the emergence of CJ McCollum as the team’s prime point guard. He hasn’t scored double-digit points yet in this series, but he has made meaningful contributions and is a reliable source of rebounds and assists while playing exceptional defense as well.
The Great Barrier Thief has had 20, 10 and 19 rebounds and assists in the three games in this series, only coming in under this prop when he played dramatically fewer minutes in Game 2. Daniels averaged 12.7 rebounds and assists per game on the season, and he should have no problem going over this attainable prop in Game 4 as long as he plays his typical minutes.
Daniels has multiple steals in every game in this series, and his defense is critical enough that he is a key part of the Hawks’ lineup even when he isn’t scoring all the buckets.
Another player doing great work on defense and on the glass in this series is the Knicks forward OG Anunoby. Anunoby has played 38, 38 and 37 minutes in the three games in this series, and he hauled in at least eight rebounds in each of the three contests.
Anunoby poured in 29 points in his team’s Game 3 loss after scoring just 18 points in Game 1 and 14 points in Game 2. Whether his outside shot is dropping or not, though, he has been doing great work cleaning up the glass.
In the regular season against the Hawks, he had 10, 10 and five rebounds, so it’s definietly a matchup he is comfortable racking up rebounds, and this prop at only 5.5 feels like a strong over based on his work in the first part of the series.
On the other hand, the Knicks have been getting almost no rebounds at all from Bridges. The 29-year-old has been a disappointment overall in the series, but he’s especially struggled to get any rebounds. He played 32 minutes in Game 1 with just two rebounds and then had one rebound in 37 minutes in Game 2. In Game 3 he didn’t have any points in his 21 minutes and only grabbed one rebound.
Bridges has two rebounds or fewer in eight of his last nine games, with the only exception coming against the Hawks in the regular season.
Bridges averaged 3.8 rebounds per game in the regular season, but he has almost vanished from rebounding in the last few weeks. He can step up and put together big games in certain situations, but with a fully healthy roster, Bridges has regularly been coming in well under this prop, making it a good value since it seems so low and easily attainable before a closer look at how few rebounds Bridges has been getting.
If you’re building a SGP (Same Game Parlay) for Game 4, adding in the over on Johnson’s 3PM (three-pointers made) boosts the odds up to a solid +900 for the four Knicks-Hawks bets in this post.
Johnson has made two or more three-pointers in nine of his last 10 home games. He had three 3PM in Game 1, came up empty in Game 2 and bounced back with two 3PM on Thursday at home in the Hawks’ big Game 3 victory. Johnson’s multi-category improvement this season has been remarkable, and his 3PM production is just a small part of the overall upside he brings. It is a great way to sweeten your SGP with a very reachable prop.
