The Atlanta Hawks take on the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs starting on Sunday the 23rd of May. As the fifth-seeded team, they will have to travel to Madison Square Gardens for the first two games.
The Hawks are in the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and they have done this thanks to their young core meshing well with the veterans. They have a number of players who have plenty to prove this postseason, and it is not just those in their first series.
