Knicks vs Hawks is Going to Be INSANE
The New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks are set to face off in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs in a series that should result in some awesome basketball. Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns are looking to go on a run that could bring the Knicks to their first NBA Finals in decades, while the Hawks behind Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are hoping to pull off an upset after the Trae Young trade was supposed to derail them earlier this season. Let’s preview New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks.

On paper there’s no reason the Knicks shouldn’t win this series
the hawks just need to exploit brunson's defense to win in 4 🐥
Should be an easy series for the hawks, hawks in 5
2 more wins in the record book tank-a-thon!
Hawks in 6
You should have used after all star ratings for the teams since hawks have looked like a different team since then.
Do real ones say it back?
It seems tickpicks called and said your ad reads is to short buddy.🧎🔨
As a Celtics fan I am psyched Knicks have to go through Atlanta in the 1st round instead of Toronto
Hawks need Landale back if they are going to win this series.
Mike Brown is not good
Knicks in 5….NEXT!
Hawks in 6
actually trae young got back healthy and they started losing again. when he was out they were objectively better
Mo vs donavon on TD3 gonna be elite
hawks are winning it
Knicks in 6, will be close games but that's when the Knicks thrive.
Hawks win in 4
For the whole year the Knicks were my dark horse champions. When they went through that rough patch and were like idk 2-8 ppl were calling them off and I just sat there and got reminded of there like 0-12 record against the top 3 teams in each conference but then going to. The conference finals and likely the championship if not for some Indiana voodoo that being said Lakers in 8
Knicks in 5 tbh, the Knicks will ABSOLUTELY dominate the glass and paint, brunson is USED to having bigger elite defenders on him in the playoffs so this isn’t anything new for him and since he’s one of the best playoff risers EVER nobody can go shot for shot with him
Unless NAW is on a heater for most of the series the hawks can’t keep up with the knicks
It’s gonna be Knicks in 5. The hawks 20-6 post all star record is overblown. 11 were against teams that missed the play in, 6 were against play in teams, and the other 3 were a 1pt OT win against the pistons without Cade, the Celtics who were on the second night of a b2b and were resting Tatum and Queta, and against the Cavs last week when they rested Mitchell and Allen.
I said it early… CJ n Kisper would be great for this team.. ppl thought it was bs but CJ especially has been so great for ATL. NAW has been insane though
I am not going to lie, this is a tough matchup for my Knicks
Hawks could do the most funniest thing rn
