How to Watch Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks: Live Stream, TV Channel, Start Time

In a rematch of one of last year's best playoff series, the Hawks visit the Knicks at Madison Square Garden to kick off the NBA's Christmas Day slate.

Last year's Hawks-Knicks playoff series was one of the best of the year. Not only was just about every game competitive—with three of the five games decided by 11 points or fewer—but there was no shortage of drama.

From Knicks fans hitting the streets to celebrate a Game 2 win to Trae Young's back-and-forth with the crowd in New York, it was entertaining from start to finish. The budding rivalry drew enough attention to land the two teams on the NBA's Christmas Day slate this year. They'll face off at Madison Square Garden to get the day started. 

That series last year was a showcase of each team's young stars. For the Knicks, 26-year-old Julius Randle averaged a double-double with 18 points and 11.6 rebounds per game over the five games. Meanwhile, Hawks point guard Trae Young led all scorers with 29.2 points per game, and 9.8 assists.

This will be the second time the Hawks and Knicks meet this season. In their last matchup in late November, shooting guard Alec Burks led the Knicks in a 99-90 win, scoring 23 points for New York which was two shy of his season high. Young had a game-high 33 in a losing effort.

Saturday's game is the first of the day in the NBA, starting at noon.

Regional restrictions may apply.
