The Atlanta Hawks welcome a familiar foe to the AmericanAirlines Arena in Georgia on Tuesday evening when the New York Knicks come to down.

The two teams have faced off twice already in the last 11 days, and will meet for a third time in that span on this night.

The first two meetings in the series went to the Hawks, but the Knicks were able to pick up a win at Madison Square Garden in the first 2016 meeting, claiming a 111-97 victory on Sunday on the back of a season-high 38 points from Aaron Afflalo.

New York Knicks:

For the Knicks, that win over the Hawks was their second win in three games after dropping four in a row – their third four-game losing streak since the end of November.

It was also just their second win in their last seven games against the Hawks.

Carmelo Anthony had only 11 points in the win.

Afflalo hit on 7 of his 8 attempts from beyond the arc, and shot 14 of 17 from the field overall.

It was a major turnaround for Afflalo, who had been averaging 7.8 points on 31.7 percent shooting from the field over his previous six games, five of which resulted in Knicks losses.

Atlanta Hawks:

The Knicks hit on 11 of 26 shots from deep against the Hawks, marking the second consecutive outing in which the Hawks allowed 11 makes from beyond the arc. Atlanta now returns home after closing out its road trip by going 1-2.

Paul Millsap led the Hawks in scoring on Sunday with 19 points, hitting on 6 of 13 shots from the field and adding nine rebounds, six assists, and five steal.

Jeff Teague finished with only nine points on 3 of 12 shooting.
