Knicks' OG Anunoby: Probable for Game 2
Anunoby (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Hawks.
Anunoby is officially on the injury report with a left ankle sprain, though the designation is likely a carryover from the injury that cost him the regular-season finale. Despite the "probable" tag, there shouldn't be much concern regarding his availability for Game 2 after he logged 38 minutes and looked plenty mobile in Saturday's series opener. The 28-year-old forward was highly effective in that win, providing 18 points and eight rebounds while playing his signature elite defense. Barring an unexpected setback, Anunoby should be back in his usual starting role as the Knicks look to take a 2-0 series lead.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Questionable for Game 2
Okongwu is questionable for Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Knicks due to right knee inflammation.
Okongwu put together a solid performance in Game 1, logging 19 points and seven rebounds, but he appears to have picked up a right knee injury during the game, putting his status in question for Monday. If he is unable to go, Mouhamed Gueye and Tony Bradley would be candidates for increased roles.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Productive in Game 1 victory
Towns accumulated 25 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 win over the Hawks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Towns was held scoreless in the first quarter but came alive in the second half with 19 points, 11 of which came in the fourth frame. Much of that scoring production came courtesy of the free-throw line, though he was also efficient from three-point range on limited attempts, and he finished as the Knicks' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (28 points). Towns' shooting splits noticeably dipped this season compared to 2024-25, but the veteran big man still has the capability of having a big performance on any given night, which will be crucial for New York's postseason run.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Chips in 19 points in loss
Okongwu finished Saturday's 113-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 37 minutes.
Okongwu scored 12 of his 19 points in the first half of Saturday's game and finished as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (26 points) and Jalen Johnson (23 points). Okongwu enjoyed a career year in his sixth NBA regular season, though he saw his production dip over his last 19 games from March 1, when he averaged 13.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.8 threes over 29.8 minutes. The Hawks will need more output from the 2020 first-rounder to help alleviate the pressure for Johnson, McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-double with three steals
Hart chipped in 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 victory over Atlanta in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Hart got it done on both ends of the floor, helping the Knicks to an impressive victory in Game 1 against the Hawks. After some ups and downs over the past month, Hart recorded his first double-double in his past 13 games, with his 14 rebounds the most he has pulled down since late December.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Muted effort in loss
Kuminga had eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Kuminga failed to produce anything of note, despite playing 27 minutes off the bench. Outside of a couple of encouraging performances, Kuminga has been unable to serve as a key contributor for his new team. For Atlanta to have a chance of upsetting New York, Kuminga is going to have to be more of an all-around contributor.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Scoreless in three minutes
Risacher had zero points (0-3 FG) and four rebounds over two minutes during Saturday's 113-102 loss to New York in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Risacher barely saw the court, failing to score in three minutes. Despite his draft pedigree, Risacher has seemingly fallen out of favor in Atlanta, averaging just 15.7 minutes per game in 13 appearances over the past month. At this stage, it doesn't appear as though he will play any sort of meaningful role during the playoffs.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Nets 26 points with four triples
McCollum notched 26 points (11-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Saturday's Game 1 loss to New York.
McCollum was responsible for nearly half of Atlanta's 12 turnovers, coughing up the rock five times in the defeat, and he also bricked both of his free throws. He'll need to do a better job of taking care of the ball in Game 2 on Monday if the Hawks hope to steal one on the road.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Headed to bench
Hukporti will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) skipped the Knicks' regular-season finale, but both those guys will be back in action Saturday, which could make it tough for Hukporti to get into the rotation. As a reserve this season, Hukporti has averaged 1.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game.

Hawks' Asa Newell: Returns to bench
Newell will come off the bench for Game 1 against the Knicks on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Newell had 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 39 minutes of the season finale with the Hawks resting multiple players. He'll likely be used sparingly in the postseason, however.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Retreating to bench Saturday
McBride is not in New York's starting lineup against Atlanta in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Saturday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The Knicks rested their starters for this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets. That led to McBride entering New York's starting five, and in that 110-96 loss to Charlotte, he played 24 minutes and finished with 21 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal. The fifth-year pro will revert to a bench role Saturday and will be the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson.

Hawks' Tony Bradley: Not starting Saturday
Bradley won't start Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Bradley started Atlanta's regular-season finale but will slide to the second unit Saturday. The big man isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time with the team almost at full strength.

Hawks' Corey Kispert: Headed to bench
Kispert will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Kispert started in Atlanta's regular-season finale with the Hawks resting most of their main guys, but he'll return to a reserve role for the playoffs. As a member of the second unit this season, Kispert has averaged 8.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 three-pointers per game.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Back to bench for Game 1
Wallace is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Knicks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Wallace served mostly in a bench role for the 2025-26 season, but he did start in Atlanta's regular-season finale against Miami this past Sunday, when he played 32 minutes and finished with eight points, six assists and four rebounds in a 143-117 loss. Wallace will be available off the bench for Saturday's contest, though minutes may be hard to come by for the second-year pro, given how rotations tend to tighten for the postseason.
