After two quick exits in the play-in tournament in the past two seasons, the Hawks are back in the playoffs, as the No. 6 seed, facing the third-seeded Knicks.
The best-of-seven series comes with at least two home games, meaning the Hawks will have a playoff game at State Farm Arena for the first time in almost three years. Their last home playoff game was April 27, 2023, a series-ending loss in Game 6 to the Celtics.
The NBA released the full series schedule, with the Hawks hosting Game 3 at home on Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m. and Game 5 on Saturday, April 25, at 6 p.m. If Game 6 is necessary, it will be April 30 at an undetermined time.
The Knicks will host Games 1 and 2 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday and Monday, along with a potential Game 5 on April 28 and possibly a deciding Game 7 on May 2.
