The New York Knicks' last stop on their four-game road trip is in Atlanta. The team can end the trip at .500 with a 2-2 record or snag a win against the Hawks for a 3-1 record on their first "long" excursion.

New York is coming off a tough 109-97 loss to Houston. Fred VanVleet got hot in the first quarter with 14 points but only scored five in the remaining three quarters. Alperen Sengun had one of his best games of the season, with 25 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 29 points, but he struggled late in the game. He shot 9-of-24 from the field, which isn't typical for him.

New York could use a pick-me-up with a win against an Atlanta team that's lost four of its last five games. Three of those losses came against Washington (twice) and Charlotte. As if that's not bad enough, the Hawks are dealing with a series of injuries. Trae Young left Monday's loss to Boston with a rib sprain. He finished the game with two points on 1-of-10 shooting from the field in 23 minutes.
