New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 6, 2026

A 63-point opening quarter set a frenetic early pace, but the second half's offensive drought decided this one. New York's 108-105 road victory over Atlanta came down to a defensive tightening that neither team could break, with the combined 213 points falling well shy of the 229.5 market total—a miss that cost DAGGER's pregame over call by 16.5 points.

The Knicks and Hawks traded buckets early, combining for 63 points in Q1 before the game's momentum shifted dramatically. Q2 saw scoring plummet to just 47 combined points, establishing a pattern that would persist: the teams combined for 50 in Q3 and 53 in Q4, leaving them 16.5 points under the open line despite the line's drift down to 226.5 at tip. Jalen Brunson paced New York with 30 points and 13 assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 12 rebounds to anchor a balanced Knicks attack. OG Anunoby chipped in 22 points. Atlanta's Nickeil Alexander-Walker led all scorers with 36 points, but it wasn't enough; Jalen Johnson's 21 points and 11 rebounds, plus CJ McCollum's 17 points, couldn't overcome New York's edge down the stretch. The Knicks' 116.8 scoring average in their last 10 games proved slightly more reliable than Atlanta's 124.0, a marginal advantage that materialized in the final moments.
