Knicks Spotlight

The New York Knicks couldn’t get it done at home versus the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game, which was their 4th loss in their last six games. They are also just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games, even though they are 5-1 SU in their last six games on the road. Unfortunately for them, they haven’t been to profitable against Charlotte lately, going just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Hornets Spotlight

The Charlotte Hornets snapped a 5-game skid, and did it by upsetting the Memphis Grizzlies on their home-court. It was Charlotte’s 4th straight road game, but now they’ll get to play in their warm confines. Hopefully playing at home can snap them out of their funk as they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. They’ll have some history on their side though, where they are 12-1 SU at home in their last 13 games versus the Knicks.

Final Say

Charlotte got into a funk on their early-season west coast road trip, and understandably so, but they seem to be getting back into a groove as their top-ranked 3-point shooting is getting hot, sinking 29 3-pointers in their last two games. New York’s offense hasn’t been blowing anyone away by any means, shooting just 43% in their last five games. The Knicks defense is a top-10 defense, but the Hornets have the offense to offset that where at home they rank 1st in points per game, 1st in 3-point shooting, and 5th in offensive rebounding. Rolling with the home underdogs.  

Pick: Charlotte Hornets +1.5
