The Knicks lost Game 1 to the Hawks on Sunday, but they did get a win on an off-day Tuesday when the NBA conducted the drawings to break ties and establish the NBA Draft order. The Knicks and Hawks were tied with identical 41-31 records and the Knicks got homecourt by virtue of a tiebreaker. And they earned the tiebreaker in the draft, too, thanks to the NBA drawing.
The Knicks will now select No.
