Advice and prediction
After a rocky stretch to the season, the Hornets appear to have turned a corner and are on the right track, led by LaMelo Ball. After falling to 2-5 with back-to-back losses in Philadelphia, Charlotte has leveled its record at .500 with Ball averaging 17.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 8.3 assists in that three-game span.
The Knicks are the easiest opponent the Hornets will face since the Sixers, particularly with New York having traveled to Charlotte on the second night of a back-to-back. Because of that, Charlotte -4.5 is the play here.
Prediction: Charlotte 104, New York 94
