The Knicks last appeared in the playoffs during the 2012-13 season, when they went 54-28 and made it to the second round. They lost in six games to the Indiana Pacers in that round.
This season, the Knicks finished in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a 41-31 record.
The first game of the series between the Knicks and Hawks is scheduled to take place on Sunday.
New York will surely be liking its chances against Atlanta. During the regular season, the Knicks won all three matchups between the two teams.
