New York Knicks:

The New York Knicks are currently 12^th in the east with a 14-18 record. They are coming off a loss against the Washington Wizards at home. The New York Knicks in the last 10 games are 3-7.

They are ranked 23^rd and 26^th in defensive rating at home.

New York Knicks even though they have struggled so far this season especially at home, but will be looking to use the injury woes of the Hawks and get the win at home on Christmas.

Atlanta Hawks:

The Atlanta Hawks are really having a tough season so far. They are currently 10^th in the east with a 15-16 record. They are coming off a fantastic win on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers even when they were missing Trae Young and other key players. They are 4-6 in the last 10 games. It is expected that most of their players will be sidelined including Trae Young on Christmas day against the New York Knicks.

The Hawks have a record of 7-8 on the road. The Hawks are the best 3-point shooting team on the road in the league they shoot at 38.6% from three on the road. They are top 5 in committing fewer turnovers on the road. But their defense has taken a hit on the road as they are ranked 23^rd in defense on the road. With their best scorer Trae Young, the offensive might struggle too.

The Hawks will be missing a lot of their players as they did against the 76ers. Even without a lot of their players, they were able to get past the 76ers on the road. So this team has shown what they are capable of. If they play to their potential as they did against the 76ers they can win against the struggling New York Knicks.
