Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks preview (Image via NBA) The Atlanta Hawks, who have lost five straight games, will be put to the test once more tonight when they host the New York Knicks. I’m choosing the visitors to win this game handily because the Atlantic Division-leading Knicks have been among the NBA’s most powerful teams at both sides of the court.The Atlanta Hawks have lost nine of their last 11 games and are currently on a five-game losing streak. December has not been kind to them. The New York Knicks, on the other hand, have a 13-3 record over their last 16 games and are heading in the opposite direction. New York, which is tied for fourth in points per game (120.3) and eighth in points per game (113.3), has been strong on both sides of the court.

Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks – Game Prediction
The New York Knicks visit State Farm Arena with the intention of taking advantage of the Atlanta Hawks’ five-game losing skid and back-to-back weariness. The Hawks have lost nine of their previous eleven games and five in a row. Over the past few weeks, their defence has been awful, routinely allowing more than 120 points. They have a 5-10 record at home and are ranked 18th in defensive rating. They lost to Miami 126-111 on Friday and are now playing the second night of a back-to-back. However, Miles McBride could make a comeback after being upgraded to questionable, while Atlanta’s frontcourt is severely damaged due to several season-ending injuries and Kristaps Porzingis’ unavailability. With an average of 18 points in his last two games, Tyler Kolek has filled in for McBride.Also read: Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat (12-26-2025) game preview: When and where to watch, expected lineup, injury report, prediction, and more
