Overview

  • The Knicks report a clean bill of health, with only OG Anunoby listed after a brief ankle scare in Game 1.
  • Anunoby practiced in full and is expected to play, reinforcing New York's stable rotation.
  • Atlanta lists center Onyeka Okongwu as questionable with knee inflammation, leaving depth concerns at the five.
  • The Hawks already ruled out Jock Landale, which could push Mouhamed Gueye or Tony Bradley into larger minutes.
  • New York leads the series 1–0 after a home win, and a thin Hawks frontcourt could encourage more touches for Karl-Anthony Towns.
