Knicks vs. Hawks Odds & Betting Predictions - April 5, 2025

The Knicks face off against the Atlanta Hawks today and this is a spot where Jalen Brunson could make his return. I do not see a circumstance where Brunson returns and is not at full health. He is far too important for this Knicks team to rush him back. He has been practicing all week and should get run today. This is the front-end of a back-to-back so I think they play him in one of these two games. I figure today maybe makes more sense to then give him 3 days off before their next game. The Hawks are abysmal defensively and play at a lightning fast Pace so even if the minutes are somewhat restricted there will be more opportunities within those minutes. Brunson has cleared this line in 8 of the last 10 games he’s played and I’ll back him on Saturday.
