NBA picks today: Hawks vs. Knicks prediction, odds, over/under, spread

Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks return to Madison Square Garden Wednesday night when they face the New York Knicks. Young has always had strong showings at the Garden, including some brilliant playoff performances when the Hawks beat the Knicks 4-1 in the first round a few seasons ago.

The Knicks are 1.5-point favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 216.
