Knicks Shift to Underdog Status Against Hawks in Betting Markets

On April 24, 2026, major sportsbooks moved the New York Knicks to underdog status for their upcoming game with the Atlanta Hawks, reflecting heightened concern over the Knicks’ recent struggles.
Oddsmakers across several betting platforms now favor Atlanta, a reversal from earlier lines that had positioned New York as the likely winner. The adjustment follows a stretch in which the Knicks have been labeled “struggling,” prompting bettors to lean toward the Hawks.
Consensus point spreads and moneyline odds vary by operator, but each now lists Atlanta as the favorite. The shift underscores waning market confidence in New York as the teams prepare to meet later this week.
