Trae Young is set to play for the Atlanta Hawks against the New York Knicks despite a right rib sprain, while David Roddy also returns from illness. However, De'Andre Hunter will miss the game due to knee management.

The Hawks, despite a recent poor performance against the Boston Celtics, rank well offensively but struggle defensively. They are currently 10th in points per game but 28th in points allowed. The Knicks, on the other hand, are 16th in points per game and boast a strong three-point shooting percentage.
