What to expect from Knicks vs. Hawks on Peacock NBA Monday
Both teams will be bringing the heat in this one, even if one has already clinched a playoff berth. The Knicks know they're going to the postseason, but they're still locked in a tight battle with the Celtics for the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. If they can win out the rest of their season, they've got a good chance at even better playoff seeding going forward, something they'll need in a tight Eastern Conference bracket. So expect Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns to bring some heat to the court.
On the other bench, the Hawks are in playoff position, but they've not yet clinched a berth despite sitting at the top of the Southeast Division in the East. They need to keep winning if they want in, and they're on the hunt for the best seeding possible in a crowded field. There's even a chance that they could slip back into Play-In territory under the right conditions, so a home win for Jalen Johnson and the rest of the squad is a must-have. Plus, they beat Boston twice in the closing days of March, and if they can beat the Celtics, strong odds they might can beat the Knicks.
