The New York Knicks will look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their NBA playoff series.

Why it matters

These data-driven NBA player prop picks are designed to give bettors an edge by identifying the most profitable opportunities based on advanced analytics and historical trends. Identifying the right prop bets can be a crucial part of building a winning playoff betting strategy.

The details

Our system's top Hawks prop is Jonathan Kuminga over 11.5 points (-112), projecting him for 12.9 points. Kuminga had cleared this line in six of his last 10 games prior to a quiet Game 1. The Hawks' fast pace as a road team this season could benefit Kuminga. For the Knicks, we like Miles McBride over 6.5 points (-125), Miles Bridges over 12.5 points (-130), and Karl-Anthony Towns over 11.5 rebounds (-130). McBride should see increased minutes after a limited role in Game 1, while Bridges and Towns have been dominant on the boards all season.

  • Game 2 will be played on Monday, April 20, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
