Two of the Eastern Conference's promising young sides - the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks - will face off on Monday evening.

Behind their leader, Young, Atlanta have been thoroughly exciting to watch as fans hope their team can battle for a place in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
They will be hosting the New York Knicks, who have had an encouraging start themselves and currently have a 3-3 record. In their last fixture on Saturday, the Knicks recorded an impressive win on the road against an exciting Indiana Pacers side.

The New York Knicks injury report is still worrying for fans as reliance continues to fall heavily on the franchise's starters.
Frank Ntilikina and Obi Toppin have been ruled out of their trip to Atlanta. Meanwhile, guards Alec Burks and Dennis Smith Jr. as well as forward Omari Spellman are doubts.
With a depleted squad, the New York Knicks produced another fine defensive display in Indiana. On Monday, they face the free-scoring Atlanta Hawks who have multiple points of attack and dangerous options from beyond the arc which will be another stern test of new coach Thibodeau's abilities.

Doubtful: Alec Burks, Dennis Smith Jr. and Omari Spellman
Suspended: None
