Through 3 Quarters

Down six at the end of last quarter, the New York Knicks have now snagged the lead. They currently hold an 89-87 lead over the Atlanta Hawks.

New York has been riding high on the performance of small forward R.J. Barrett, who has 26 points in addition to eight boards. One thing to keep an eye out for is Obi Toppin's foul situation as he currently sits at five.

Point guard Trae Young has done his best for Atlanta, currently boasting 38 points (44% of their total) and six dimes.

The Hawks haven't lost 88% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this year, so a victory here would be refreshing.

What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks haven't won a game against the New York Knicks since June 2 of last year, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. The Hawks will head out on the road to face off against New York at 7:30 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Atlanta was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 117-112 to the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite the defeat, Atlanta got a solid performance out of power forward Danilo Gallinari, who had 27 points along with five boards.

Meanwhile, the contest between New York and the Utah Jazz on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with New York falling 108-93 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Power forward Julius Randle wasn't much of a difference maker for the Knicks; Randle played for 34 minutes with 6-for-21 shooting.

The Hawks are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Atlanta's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Atlanta is now 35-36 while New York sits at 30-41. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Atlanta ranks fourth in the league when it comes to fouls drawn per game, with 20.4 on average. New York is completely their equal: they also come into the matchup with 20.4 fouls drawn per game. Be prepared to get familiar with the officiating crew.
