Is RJ Barrett playing tonight? Latest update for Knicks vs Hawks Nov. 15
The New York Knicks will face the Hawks in Atlanta for the second time this season and are hoping for another win. On Oct. 27, New York beat Atlanta, 126-120, behind Jalen Brunson's 31 points (11-of-21) in 33 minutes. RJ Barrett added 26 (9-of-15). Mitchell Robinson posted a game-high 13 rebounds.
Atlanta is coming off a 126-120 win over Detroit on Tuesday in a game without Trae Young, who was out due to personal reasons. Young’s status for Wednesday’s game is unknown. He missed the Hawks’ win over the Pistons on Tuesday due to the birth of his second child.
New York fans are anxiously waiting to learn RJ Barrett's status for the game after he missed Monday's loss to Boston as a late scratch because of a migraine. In games played without Barrett this season, the Knicks are 0-3. Last season, it was all about Jalen Brunson, and while that's still true, Barrett is as important to the team as he's ever been.
