The New York Knicks play at the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday evening. On the heels of a disappointing 109-97 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday, the 3-3 Knicks seek a bounce-back victory over the 3-5 Hawks. With the game's tipoff near, All Knicks provided the necessary facts to enjoy the contest.
Although the Knicks haven't started as they'd previously thought, the Jalen Brunson-led squad has wins over the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. Beating the Hawks may not measure to the aforementioned victories, but losing to a struggling, injury-ravaged roster would ignite a vastly different conversation than the positive vibes exuded from the Empire State heading into the 2024-25 season.
New York shouldn't take Atlanta lightly, though. Young has a history of upsetting Knicks fans, even away from Madison Square Garden. Although the Knicks were the superior team in the past two seasons, the Hawks made the matchup competitive with a 3-4 record in the last seven games.
