The Hawks are coming off a 124-119 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on November 14, 2023. The Knicks are coming off a 117-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on November 12, 2023.
The Hawks are 1-2 on the season, while the Knicks are 1-2. The Hawks are led by Trae Young, who is averaging 27.5 points, 9.0 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game. The Knicks are led by Jalen Brunson, who is averaging 26.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
The Hawks are expected to be without De’Andre Hunter (ankle) and John Collins (foot) for this game. The Knicks are expected to be without Mitchell Robinson (knee) and Cam Reddish (groin) for this game.
The Hawks are a more talented team than the Knicks, but they have been struggling to find consistency this season. The Knicks are a more experienced team, and they have been playing better defense this season. This game should be a close one, but I expect the Hawks to win.

Despite the injuries, both teams should still be able to compete in this game. The Knicks have a strong defense and they are a talented team. However, the Hawks are a more experienced team and they have a lot of offensive firepower. This game should be a close one, but I expect the Hawks to win.
