Could the Hawks take one of the most underrated players in the draft while also taking a low-risk, high-reward center in the back of the first?

It's no secret that the Knicks have been unbeaten in the playoffs outside of the two games they lost to the Hawks. What should fans take away from that?

The Hawks have repeatedly mentioned how much they want flexibility going forward - the best way to preserve that is by looking into players on expiring contracts.

Atlanta shouldn't commit a lot of resources towards him, but it would be interesting to add Dort on the Hawks if they can get him at a reasonable salary.

Getting high picks in the draft has always been accompanied by tanking, but the current core of the Hawks is poised to uniquely benefit from the lottery odds.

The Knicks series showed the lack of depth in the Hawks' backcourt. Could trading one of their young wings in exchange for one of the Suns' best guards make sense?

After splitting their two home games, the Hawks go back on the road to try and steal Game 5 against a Knicks team that may have figured out how to beat them.

With a 2-1 lead in the series, a Hawks win tonight puts the penultimate nail in the coffin and turn their underdog story into inevitable momentum - as well as a trip to the next round of the playoffs.
