Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 18, 2026

Atlanta's 120-point scoring average over its last 10 games came to a halt in New York, as the Hawks managed just 102 points in a 113-102 loss to the Knicks. The combined 215 fell 2.5 short of the 217.5 market total, a modest undershoot that reflected a second half that failed to match the offensive pace of the opening 24 minutes.

The game's shape was defined by its halves: the first 48 combined 112 points, then the second half compressed to just 103. New York's 30-point first quarter and Atlanta's 31-point second quarter—driven by CJ McCollum's 26 points, 3 rebounds, and Jalen Johnson's 23 points and 7 boards—kept the contest competitive through the break. But the third quarter proved decisive, with only 45 combined points, the lowest output of the night. Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks with 28 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 25 points and 8 rebounds. OG Anunoby chipped in 18 points and 8 rebounds for New York. Onyeka Okongwu posted 19 points and 8 rebounds off the bench for Atlanta. The fourth quarter revived the pace slightly to 58 combined, but the damage in Q3 had sealed the outcome. DAGGER leaned over on the pregame total, and it missed.
