Through random drawings, the NBA on Tuesday announced several tiebreakers among teams with identical regular-season records to determine draft orders for the 2021 NBA Draft.

That included the Hawks (41-31 in the regular season) and the Knicks (also 41-31). The Hawks lost the tiebreaker and will have pick No. 20 in the first round, while the Knicks will have pick No. 19.

The draft will take place July 29.
