Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 28, 2026

The 214.5 market total looked vulnerable from the opening whistle. New York and Atlanta combined for 57 points in the first quarter, setting a brisk pace that suggested a shooting-heavy evening. The scoring rhythm remained steady through the second quarter—55 combined points—pushing the halftime total to 112, already tracking above the pregame number by roughly 5 points. That comfort zone held through a defensive third quarter that mustered only 50 combined points, but the fourth quarter exploded for 61, the game's highest-scoring frame, to seal a 223-point final.

Jalen Brunson carried New York with 39 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds, anchoring a Knicks offense that posted 126. Karl-Anthony Towns added 16 points and a team-high 14 rebounds, while OG Anunoby chipped in 17 points and 10 rebounds. Atlanta's Jalen Johnson posted 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists in a losing effort, with Dyson Daniels (17 points, 5 assists) and Onyeka Okongwu (16 points, 5 rebounds) unable to keep pace.

This was the fourth meeting between the teams this season—the prior three ranged from 212 to 217 combined points—and this contest landed decisively on the over side. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed comfortably, as the combined total of 223 cleared the number by 8.5 points.
