New York Knicks vs Charlotte Hornets Picks
Knicks vs Hornets Spread Pick
- New York Knicks -6.5 (5 units)
This line is really friendly towards the Knicks as I think they will earn a blowout win over Charlotte. The Knicks are 1-6 against the spread on the road, but their road schedule has been difficult. They will take down a Hornets team that turns the ball over a lot and ranks sixth-worst defensively. The Knicks have playmakers in Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns. The Hornets are a youthful team that makes many mistakes each game. The Hornets don’t have the firepower to respond once the Knicks gain momentum and take a lead. This game won’t be close with the Knicks winning nine of their 10 games by eight points or more.
Take New York to cover.
Knicks vs Hornets Over/Under Pick
- Over 236.5 (5 units)
Charlotte and New York both rank in the bottom half of defensive efficiency. Baskets will be easy to come by for both teams especially the Knicks, as Charlotte struggles to defend the lane. New York does play at a faster tempo as they rank 12th in pace. They should ride this momentum into easy baskets against a Charlotte team that turns the ball over the ninth most times in the sport. The over is 8-5 when New York has been favored this year.
Take the over on Wednesday.
