New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 30, 2026

New York's dominance in the season series continued in emphatic fashion, as the Knicks dismantled Atlanta 140–89 for a combined 229 points—well above the 214.5 market total. DAGGER leaned over pregame, and it cashed by 14.5. The Knicks had won all three prior meetings this season by an average margin of 16 points, with combined totals ranging from 212 to 223, and this lopsided result underscored their clear superiority over a Hawks team struggling on both ends of the floor.

The damage was front-loaded. New York erupted for 40 points in the first quarter alone—nearly matching Atlanta's entire first half—and the combined first quarter of 55 set the tone for an opening half that produced 119 total points. The Knicks' defense suffocated Atlanta from the opening tip while their offense hummed in the early going; OG Anunoby led New York with 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Mikal Bridges added 24 points across 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Jalen Johnson kept the Hawks competitive with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, but his teammates couldn't generate consistent scoring around him—CJ McCollum mustered just 11 points and Jonathan Kuminga added 11 as well.

The second half saw the game's intensity fade as New York's lead became insurmountable. A 64-point second quarter proved the highest-scoring frame, but Atlanta's 21-point showing in Q2 reflected the gulf that had opened. The combined 110 points in the second half came largely as the outcome was decided. With Jalen Brunson orchestrating from the backcourt—17 points and 8 assists—the Knicks maintained control throughout, holding the Hawks to just 89 total points while cruising to their fourth consecutive comfortable victory in the series.
