There is only one game between the New York Knicks and the All-Star break. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns will travel to San Francisco to represent the Knicks while the other players enjoy some relaxation. Picking up a win over the Hawks on Tuesday at MSG would be a great way to start the time off.
New York bounced back from a disappointing loss on Saturday to Boston with a 128-115 win over Indiana on Tuesday. Towns led the Knicks with 40 points (14-of-23) and 12 rebounds. Josh Hart recorded 30 points (12-of-16), 10 rebounds, and five assists. Brunson had an off night with eight points.
Atlanta will enter The Garden on a three-game win streak. The Hawks beat the Magic, 112-106, on Monday. They're 3-0 since their moves at the trade deadline that left everyone confused.
OG Anunoby's status for tonight's game vs. Hawks
OG Anunoby's status is unknown, but he was initially listed as questionable before Tuesday's game against the Pacers. He was ruled out after being a game-time decision. The smart decision would be to keep him sidelined past the All-Star break.
Trae Young's status for tonight's game vs. Knicks
Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable. He played in Monday's win over Orlando.
Knicks injury report
New York hasn't released its injury report after playing in Indiana on Tuesday. OG Anunoby (foot), Mitchell Robinson (ankle), and Pacome Dadiet (toe) were sidelined.
Hawks injury report
Trae Young (Achilles) is probable. Larry Nance (knee), Vit Krejci (back), Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) are out.
Projected starting lineups tonight
New York: Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Precious Achiuwa, Karl-Anthony Towns
