Charlotte Hornets vs Knicks Betting Tips & Predictions
1. Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks Moneyline Pick
As the Knicks moneyline is at -350, it should be taken due to their greatness on both ends of the floor. Having Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges as two high-level scorers, they can take on the tough duo of Lamelo Ball plus Brandon Miller in both scoring plus passing. Having a small forward in Josh Hart who is ultra-aggressive, this Knicks frontcourt will get a rebounding plus scoring advantage with Karl Anthony-Towns plus O.G. Annunoby against Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges. Looking at this, the Knicks' -350 money line should easily be won and their 5th straight vs Charlotte.
2. Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks Point Spread Pick
With the Knicks having a -7.5 spread in this game, it’s a great selection due to them having an advantage at every position. Seeing that Jalen Brunson continues being one of the best scorers wherever he can create, his passing ability has been a factor as well. Going up against Lamelo Ball, he will have some defensive energy to limit in-game by a tiny bit leading to other points for New York through steals plus forced turnovers. Even though Brunson is not a solidified defender yet, his non-stop work ethic will help him have an overall advantage against Lamelo Ball who is mostly a pure-scorer that can sometimes pass. As the Hornets do have Brandon Miller at shooting guard, Mikal Bridges' defense plus speed should help him outrebound and have more assists than the Hornets' young star on the other end. Even though Miller will put up some very good long-distance shots, someone like Bridges should not let him have too much of a massive factor and outscore an all-around scorer such as this Knicks guard. Having Josh Hart at small forward, he should control Josh Green’s game as the Hornets one has shown nothing but three-point shooting. Someone like Hart will control his shot and easily win the board battle with his aggressive mentality plus great size to win this battle. Although Miles Bridges continues being a solid scorer plus rebounder for Charlotte, O.G. Annunoby’s two-way ability is way to elite for him to produce at a similar level. With Annunoby having a strong length that creates blocks, he should shutdown Bridges inside scoring, while Karl-Anthony Towns offensive greatness dominate Moussa Diabate. All in all, the -7.5 spread should be taken during this game.
3. Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks Over/Under Pick (Total Points)
As the over/under in this game is at 223.5 points, it should involve a lot of scoring as both squads have multiple threats. With the Hornets, they have one of the most high-volume backcourts with a great shooting guard and explosive point guard leading their duo. Having a power forward that can dunk inside as well, they have a backup point who can attack with ease as well. Meanwhile, this Knicks squad has one of the best point guards that can score from anywhere and a shooting guard who can create as well, they have one of the best two-way threats at power forward. With one of the strongest offensive centers in the middle, this group has bench pieces that will help this score go well over their 205 points combined from last time.
Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks Top Player Props
Lamelo Ball over 29.5 points at 1.71: As the Hornets guard continues being one of the best all-around scorers in NBA play right now, he should have another huge output in this matchup. Seeing that he goes up against Jalen Brunson, this should be an offensive battle leading to Ball having great opportunities to knock down long-range shots plus using dribbles to finish. As Lamelo has been averaging 31.0 points a night, he should go way above the line in this matchup.
Karl Anthony-Towns over 26.5 points at 1.91: Seeing that the Knicks center has become a very reliable scorer from inside or outside the perimeter, he will continue being a dominating force during this game. As he can go against a smaller Moussa Diabate, Towns should be able to finish at the hoop with ease, while forcing the Hornets center to come out when he tries jump shots for threes. As Towns averages 26.1 points a night, he should continue building on his season average in this matchup.
Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks Injury News & Impact
Charlotte Hornets Injuries: As this squad lost Grant Williams, 10.4 points and 5.1 rebounds, to a season-ending ACL injury, the Hornets will have to make Moussa Diabate plus Nic Richards play an extended role at center.
New York Knicks Injuries: Although this group still doesn’t have defensive-minded Mitchell Robinson, 8.5 rebounds, and Miles McBride, they will be able to use similar rotations to be successful despite them.

Charlotte Hornets vs Knicks Match Prediction
As the Charlotte Hornets have shown prowess as a young roster, this Knicks group is too much of a veteran one that should dominate. With this New York squad continuing to heat up, they will once again have a simple victory on their hands. Seeing that Jalen Brunson helps this unit at the point as their leader and top combo guard, his ability to pass plus create inside continues to be important. A great facilitator off the floor, he continues showing how aggressive he is while taking layups and showing greatness as a mid-range shooter as well. Going up against some like Lamelo Ball, this should be a great battle between two great guards, but Brunson has a slight advantage due to his ability to get assists and his more aggressive defense during the final moments of games. He is someone that can create turnovers plus traps even though Ball has a slight size advantage. Meanwhile, Mikal Bridges continues being one of the best all-around guards who continues using great length and passes to attack defenses. As he goes up against a weaker defender in Brandon Miller, Bridges should be an efficient scorer as well and match Miller’s amazing outside range. A position in which a Knicks player can completely outnumber a Hornets one in all the stats, this will be a vital matchup for them.
While Josh Hart continues being one of the most high-energy guys on this roster, his ability to get rebounds will help this Knicks roster a lot. Going up against Josh Green who is mostly just a short-term three-point shooter, Hart should be able to use strength for extra boards, while also creating great looks inside. As this will be a massive mismatch as well, O.G. Annunoby is going to try and beat Miles Bridges at the power forward position. Seeing that the Knicks piece has been great on both ends this season and knocks down long-range shots when needed, his dunking ability should occur with ease against a smaller Bridges. Having Karl Anthony-Towns in the middle as the lead center who is an elite rebounder plus stretch scorer, should handle Moussa Diabate pretty easily. With the Knicks having key pieces like Cameron Payne on the bench, Charlotte can keep it close if Tre Mann continues providing high numbers of points in limited minutes.
Our prediction: The New York Knicks win and cover their -7.5 spread, while the score goes over 223.5 points
