The New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks will lock horns with each other for an exciting 2021-22 NBA season game at State Farm Arena on Saturday.
The Knicks have been in solid form over their last few games. They have won four of their last five matches, entering Saturday's game against Atlanta. They are coming off a 108-85 win over the Dallas Mavericks. RJ Barrett recorded his second 30-point outing on the trot, while the rest of the starters scored in double-digits as well to help New York emerge victorious.
Meanwhile, the Hawks have been in terrible form, having lost 15 of their last 21 games. The Miami Heat completed the double over them following the two teams' last meeting, on the back end of a back-to-back set. Trae Young scored 24 points and dished out nine assists in the 118-124 loss. However, Atlanta's defense once again crumbled in the absence of Clint Capela, leading to their fourth loss in a row.
New York Knicks Injury Report
The Knicks have listed four players on their report, including former Hawks players Cam Reddish and Solomon Hill. The other two are starting point guard Kemba Walker and his backup Derrick Rose. All four players have been ruled out.
Atlanta Hawks Injury Report
The Hawks haven't updated their injury report ahead of this game. As per their previous report, Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson were the only two players sidelined. That could be the case again.
