Charlotte Hornets 1-10 win margin (+180)
Pickswise handicapper Brian Prouty has backed the Hornets to cover as 2-point favorites and I agree with him. The Hornets are on a run of 7 wins in their last 9 games, and they’ve found their rhythm at just the right time with playoff seeding on the line. They have scored the 5th-most points per game in the NBA this season, but their defense is one of the worst in the NBA. However, they won’t be facing an intimidating offense tonight as the Knicks rank only 26th in points per game this season. Charlotte will be a lot more motivated to get the win and with the Knicks playing solid ball over the past 7 days or so, it promises to be a close game, but ultimately I think the Hornets can pull this one out.

LaMelo Ball to record 10+ rebounds (+430)
There’s something about LaMelo Ball and rebounding when it comes to games against the New York Knicks. He’s played them 4 times in his career and is averaging 10.7 boards against them. In 2 games played this season he had 9 and 17 boards, good enough reason for us to back him to get at least 10 tonight. The Knicks are also coming off a win against Chicago in which the Bulls grabbed 55 rebounds. Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randle are their only reliable rebounders. We’re expecting a high-paced game at MSG tonight, so it’s natural to expect more rebounding opportunities for everyone. Take LaMelo to capitalize on that.

Miles Bridges to score 25+ points (+220)
Miles Bridges has had some really good games against the Knicks this season, averaging 25.7 points in 3 meetings and the last time he played at Madison Square Garden he finished with 38 points. In that game he made 14 of 20 shots from the field and 5 of 9 attempts from 3-point land. I’m looking for him to have a similar game tonight. He’s been in fine form lately, averaging 21.9 points per game over his last 10 on 52-42-79 shooting splits. Over his last 3 games he’s scored 27, 24 and 26 against Denver, Brooklyn and Utah, which is really promising ahead of tonight’s game against a Knicks squad who are below all 3 of those teams in the standings.
