WATCH Knicks vs. Hawks Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 Conference Rankings, Playoff Updates

Basketball's back for the official 2015-2016 NBA season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The New York Knicks battle it out on the court against the Atlanta Hawks in Week 10 of the regular season on Tuesday, January 5 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the Philips Arena in Georgia. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Tuesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Atlanta maintains a Top 10 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while NY still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Hawks (9): "If you see win shares as a useful metric - or if you're simply an #EvenTheHawks devotee eager to trumpet the solid play coming from Paul Millsap this season like our pal Bob Rathbun - consider that Millsap was tied for third in the East (4.8) as of Monday morning, behind only Toronto's Kyle Lowry (5.0) and Cleveland's LeBron James (4.9)."

Record: 21-14 (4th in Eastern Conference).

Knicks (19): "Quite a weekend roller coaster for the increasingly up-and-down Knicks. Friday night in Chicago, their eight-point close accounted for the meekest fourth quarter in team history in the shot-clock era. Two days later, Atlanta came to Madison Square Garden, held Carmelo Anthony to 11 points and got routed anyway thanks to the Arron Afflalo Show."

Record: 16-19 (12th in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels MSG and FSSE.
