Best Knicks vs. Hawks Odds, NBA Player Props & Score Predictions Today: April 5

Point guard Jalen Brunson may return after a month-long absence in Saturday’s matinee between the New York Knicks (48-28) and Atlanta Hawks (36-40). Tipoff from State Farm Arena is at 3 p.m. ET. Will the superstar's impending return impact our Knicks vs. Hawks prediction and player props?
New York is a 4.5-point road favorite, suggesting that Brunson (questionable) is expected to be in the lineup. That’s notable because the Clutch Player of the Year odds race is still uncertain. Brunson is the betting favorite, but Hawks point guard Trae Young leads the NBA in total points scored during clutch situations (152), which the previous two Clutch Player of the Year winners have achieved.

🏀 Best Dyson Daniels prop pick: Over 14.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +100 via BetMGM ($10 to win $10)
The Clutch Player of the Year award isn’t the only competition relevant to this game. Daniels has emerged as the Most Improved Player odds favorite this week after Zach Lowe appeared on Bill Simmons’ podcast, as the media has determined that they cannot award MIP to the former No. 1 overall pick.
Daniels, who has somehow met the criteria of being underrated as a former No. 8 overall pick, is now in the driver’s seat entering the final week, and he knows it. He has scored Over 14.5 points in three consecutive games, taking more than 12 shots in each contest.
This award is important to Daniels, so I’ll take his Over and lament my 40/1 preseason bet on Cade Cunningham during these final days.

🏀 Best Jalen Brunson prop pick: Over 21.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -110 via DraftKings ($10 to win $9.09)
The market is baking in some level of minutes restriction in Brunson’s return, but I have two easy counterpoints for that logic:
- It's laughable that New York head coach Tom Thibodeau is setting a minutes limit on a starter
- The Knicks wouldn’t have any reason to bring back Brunson until he is 100%
Bettors will only get one game of uncertainty, so I’ll take the discount on a guy averaging 26.3 points per game this season.

🏀 Best Karl-Anthony Towns prop pick: Under 2.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +140 via bet365 ($10 to win $14)
With Brunson back leading the offense, assists will decrease across the board. For this game, I like the favorable odds on Under 2.5 assists for Towns.
New York's center has not cleared this mark in three consecutive games and four of his last six outings. I expect him to be more of a scorer with Brunson’s return, as the two can run numerous pick-and-pops against Atlanta.
