Hornets vs Knicks Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick

CHA Hornets +8.5(-105)

Reasoning

The New York Knicks failed to complete a comeback last night against the Boston Celtics on the road. Tonight, they will be back in New York and taking on the Charlotte Hornets who will be on the second night of a back-to-back set. It will be the third time that the hosts have been playing such a game this season, with a 1-1 record so far and a point differential of exactly 0. The Knicks have not been in great form of late, ranking just 18th defensive rating. With fatigue playing a factor, they could have issues blowing away anyone, even a struggling team like the Hornets.

With LaMelo Ball running the show and Miles Bridges ability to attack in transition, the Hornets should be capable of exploiting the hosts tired legs. With Colin Sexton able to push the tempo off the bench too, they should be able to keep the pressure on the Knicks here. Rookie Kon Knueppel has been in great form for the Hornets, having averaged close to 20-points per game in November on 39.1% shooting from deep. The Knicks had major issues containing Jaylen Brown and Derrick White last night, with the pair dropping 64 points between them, respectively. Do not be surprised to see the Hornets wing duo having similar success, so take the points on the visitors.

Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
