Atlanta Hawks Vs New York Knicks: Recent Form
The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Dallas Mavericks 130–122 prior to this game. They had excellent attacking play the entire time, scoring with regularity. If they want to take care of business at home, they will need to remain heated in this one. As they now hold the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference, the Atlanta Hawks are not playing at their best this season. Before their three-match winning streak, the team had been doing very averagely on the court. But during their current four-game winning streak, the Atlanta Hawks are starting to display the results that were anticipated after they acquired Dejounte Murray and paired him with Trae Young to form a potent backcourt in the offseason. When the Hawks visit the New York Knicks on Friday, the guards will put their newly discovered chemistry to the test.
For New York Knicks supporters, the shift into 2022–23 has been surprisingly beneficial. The team seems to have changed back to the postseason-caliber 2020–2021 squad after a terrible 2021–2022, much below expectations. The New York Knicks lost to the Washington Wizards by a score of 116-105 heading into this game. They laboured on both ends of the floor in that contest, and if they want to compete with the Hawks on the road, they will need to play more effectively this time around.

Atlanta Hawks Vs New York Knicks: Predictions
Three good guards—Jalen Brunson for the Knicks, Dejounte Murray and Trae Young for the Hawks—make this a great battle. Given that the Knicks just suffered a disputed loss to the Wizards, Atlanta should be in a strong position to earn its fifth straight victory. Despite Brunson’s 30-plus points, Atlanta wins thanks to the combined 50 points from Murray and Young.
