The Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks play their most important game on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

The winner of tonight's contest will gain sole possession of the fourth seed, which is invaluable due to its home-court advantage in the first round of the playoff's implications.
Last night the Hawks beat the Orlando Magic at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, behind Trae Young's 25 points and seven assists.
Meanwhile, the Knicks have won seven games in a row after beating the Charlotte Hornets 109-97 on Tuesday in New York at the Garden.
