Hornets at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 119, Hornets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Knicks (-1100) to win on Thursday at home against a struggling Hornets (+675) team.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +14.5 (-115).

While Charlotte has struggled in its last 10 games going 2-8, it is 7-3 ATS in that span. It has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and in back-to-back road games. It fell by 1 point in its first matchup with New York and will cover again against a Knicks team that has failed to cover in 2 of its last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 218.5 (-110).

New York has hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 games including 3 of its last 5. It will carry the load on Thursday. The Knicks have scored 114 or more points in 8 of their last 10 and 118 or more points in 3 of their last 5. They have allowed 106-plus points in 3 of their last 5.

Charlotte has also hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 while scoring 104 points in back-to-back games.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (20-46) battle the New York Knicks (39-27) at Madison Square Garden Tuesday. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hornets vs. Knicks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks have won both matchups against Charlotte this season, but they are just 1-1 against the spread (ATS). The total is 1-1 O/U. These teams haven’t played each other since Dec. 9.

Charlotte enters on a 3-game losing skid, having failed to cover all 3. It lost 102-86 to the Brooklyn Nets Sunday, failing to cover as a 6-point road underdog. However, the Hornets are 5-3 ATS and straight up over their last 8 games.

New York has won 9 in a row, most recently beating the Boston Celtics 131-129 in overtime Sunday. It has covered all but one of those games with the lone push as a 6-point home favorite against Utah. The Knicks are 37-26-3 ATS on the season.

Hornets at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Hornets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-475) are just 19-15 at home, so despite playing a Hornets team down their best player, betting them outright makes little sense.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +10.5 (-110).

Although most teams are typically better at home, the Knicks haven’t been. They are just 15-16-3 ATS as the home team. They have also only been double-digit favorites once, and that was an ATS loss to the Spurs.

The Hornets are 5-3 ATS over their last 8 but should still be a heavy public fade as well given the absence of Ball. However, with Brunson questionable for New York, they should be able to keep pace with what could be a limited New York offense.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-108).

While I expect the Hornets to cover, they have scored fewer than 92 points in 2 of their last 3 games and recorded 7 straight Unders. The absence of Ball has crippled Charlotte’s offense.

The Knicks are 4-3 O/U in their last 7 but entered overtime with 113 in their last game. New York ranks 27th in pace and should play this game at a slow tempo.

Hornets at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 119, Hornets 116

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-340) should win, but they are overvalued in this spot after 2 consecutive double-digit wins and ATS covers. Look to the spread or total for better opportunities.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +7.5 (-112).

The Knicks are favored by too many points in this matchup. The Hornets proved vs. Atlanta that they are still a capable team, even without Ball and Rozier. Expect this game to be a lot closer than the line suggests. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-112).

The Over is 6-0 in Charlotte’s last 6 road games dating back to last season and 20-7-1 in the last 28 head-to-head meetings in New York. The Hornets are 1st in the NBA in points per game (122.3) and should continue their hot shooting as the Over hits Wednesday.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (39-37) visit Madison Square Garden Wednesday to take on the New York Knicks (34-42). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hornets vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Hornets come into this game following a 113-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets as 3-point home underdogs Monday. However, they’ve still been relatively hot for bettors as they’ve covered six of their last nine games.

Charlotte this season is 41-33-2 against the spread (ATS). It is led by F Miles Bridges, who is averaging 20.1 points per game. The Hornets have won seven of their last nine contests.

New York is just 36-40 ATS this season, but it has won four straight games straight up (SU).

It’s still 4.5 games back of the tenth spot in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are led in points, rebounds and assists by F Julius Randle. They’ve covered three of their last four games.

Hornets at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hornets 115, Knicks 108

Money line

PASS.

I like the Hornets here. The Knicks have oddly been better this season on the road where they’re 18-21 as compared to 16-21 at home. With Charlotte being the better side, I’d look to the points for value.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

BET CHARLOTTE -1.5 (-120).

The Hornets picked up the first two wins in the season series between these teams, but New York crushed Charlotte 121-106 March 23.

The trends point to Charlotte as well with the Hornets 6-3 ATS as a road favorite and the Knicks just 4-9 ATS as home underdog.

New York and Charlotte play drastically different styles of basketball with the Hornets fourth in pace and the Knicks 29th.

Lastly, the Knicks rank second in free throw attempt rate whereas the Hornets sit 12th in opponents’ free throw attempt rate. Charlotte’s ability to defend and not foul will be instrumental in what should be a Hornets cover.

Over/Under

PASS with a slight lean to the Under 225.5 (-115).

The Hornets have gone under the projected total in three straight while the Knicks are riding a two-game streak of the Under hitting. Also, the Under has been the outcome in two of the three times these teams have played this season.

Nonetheless, the most recent matchup went over and that style of play could again be on show at MSG as the Hornets will undoubtedly want to push the pace.

I’d pass and just play the Hornets on the spread.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks Martin Luther King Day odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (23-20) visit the Big Apple Monday to play the New York Knicks (22-21) in a Martin Luther King Day tilt at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hornets vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Charlotte had a four-game win and cover streak snapped after losing to the Orlando Magic 116-109 Friday as an 11.5-point home favorite. The Hornets are 26-17 against the spread (ATS) with a 23-19-1 Over/Under (O/U) record.

New York has won and covered five of its past six games, including three straight. The latest victory was a 117-108 win over the Hawks in Atlanta as a 1.5-point road underdog. The Knicks are 21-22 ATS and 18-25 O/U.

Hornets at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Hornets 109

Money line

BET the KNICKS (-135) for 1.25 units because SG RJ Barrett’s improved play heightens their offensive ceiling, and they have a couple of edges in this matchup. They also have been playing better recently.

Since Jan. 2, New York has a plus-4.3 adjusted net rating (ranked ninth) and a plus-6.7 ATS margin (ranked sixth), according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG). During this span, Barrett is averaging 24.6 points per game (PPG) on 47.0% shooting, including 48.7% from behind the arc.

On the other hand, Charlotte has a plus-0.2 adjusted net rating (ranked 16th) and a minus-0.6 ATS margin (ranked 18th), per CTG.

New York has two strength-on-weakness edges in its favor on the offensive glass and behind the arc.

The Knicks are seventh in offensive-rebounding rate and ninth in second-chance PPG. The Hornets are 25th in defensive-rebounding rate and allow the most second-chance PPG.

Furthermore, New York is top 10 in both 3-point attempts per game and 3-point shooting percentage, and is shooting better from deep this month. Charlotte ranks 29th in defensive effective field-goal shooting.

BET the KNICKS (-135) for 1.25 units.

Against the spread

PASS because New York’s money line isn’t much more expensive than Knicks -2.5 (-107).

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 216.5 (-115) for a half-unit unit. The Hornets like to push the tempo – they rank second in pace – and the Knicks will get into a back-and-forth game since they are shooting well from the field.

Also, there’s been too big of an adjustment in the Hornets-Knicks total by the oddsmakers and/or market based on their first meeting.

The first Hornets-Knicks game this season went Under the 225-point total by 25 points. I agree an adjustment should be made, but 7.5 points is too many.

It’s only a “LEAN” to the OVER 216.5 (-115) because I prefer the New York money line more than the total and the Knicks have the slowest pace in the NBA.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (39-31) host the Charlotte Hornets (33-37) Saturday at Madison Square Garden for a 1 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Hornets-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Charlotte has lost three games in a row and four of its past five games while going 2-3 against the spread. The Hornets hold the tiebreaker with the ninth-place Indiana Pacers for the 8-seed in the Eastern Conference.

New York rallied back from a double-digit deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 102-98 as 4.5-point home favorites Thursday following a six-game Western Conference road swing that the Knicks finished 3-3 straight up and 4-2 ATS.

This is the regular-season rubber match between these sides. The home team won and covered the spread in each of the first two meetings.

Hornets at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 107, Hornets 100

Money line (ML)

PASS because New York is the right side but the Knicks (-225) are the wrong price. Charlotte is a tough, well-coached team that has something to play for even though it’s banged up.

Laying more than -200 in an NBA regular-season game is something I won’t do and especially against this Hornets team.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the KNICKS -6 (-110) for a half unit since New York is the healthier and sharper side.

The Hornets’ injuries to their wings negate an edge for Charlotte and if D-Rose plays New York will have the edge in both the front and backcourt.

Plus, more money is on the Knicks to cover while more bets have been placed on the Hornets plus the points, according to Pregame.com. Since the money column is considered the “sharp” side of the market, New York is the side I’ll “lean” to.

What makes this only a lean is Knicks All-Star PF Julius Randle averaged just 13.5 points per game on 43.3% true shooting (.280/.125/.857) in the first two Hornets-Knicks games this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 211.5 (-110) for a half unit because Knicks games are turning into defensive battles, both teams play at a bottom-10 pace and the presumed “sharp” money is backing the Under.

New York has gone Under the total in three straight games and four of its past five, and in five of its last six games as a home favorite.

Also, five of the last six Hornets-Knicks games played to the Under, including both of their meetings this season.

Lastly, according to Pregame.com, more money has been wagered on the Under but more bets have been placed on the Over, and in sports betting it’s generally sharper to follow the money rather than the crowd of people.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

Riding a six-game winning streak, their longest since 2014, the New York Knicks (31-27) will host the Charlotte Hornets (28-28) Tuesday night. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden will be shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hornets-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hornets still don’t have many of their key players, with PG LaMelo Ball, SF Gordon Hayward and SG Malik Monk all sidelined. They lost four of their last five games, but are coming off a 109-101 win over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday. The Hornets are 4-6 over their last 10 games.

The Knicks are the hottest team in the NBA right now. They were favored in only two of their last six games, too, so four of their wins were as underdogs. Their most recent victory was by a 122-112 count over the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday, which came after the Knicks upset the Dallas Mavericks by 8 points Friday.

Hornets at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 109, Hornets 102

Money line (ML)

The Knicks are searching for their seventh consecutive win against an injury-riddled team that has lost four of their last five games. This game strongly favors the Knicks, especially while at home.

Though I like a bet on the spread more, feel good about putting a small wager on the KNICKS (-225) to win straight up.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

New York is giving Charlotte 5.5 points at home, which is the most they’ve been favored by since March 4 against the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks were 6.5-point favorites and won 114-104.

More impressive than their six-game winning streak is the fact they’ve covered in nine straight games. They’ll make it 10 Tuesday.

Take the KNICKS -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Knicks have the top defense in the NBA, limiting opponents to an average of 104.5 points per game. PF Julius Randle has been outstanding on both sides of the ball and he’s capable of putting up 30 points any given night, as he has in his last four games.

The total has gone Over in five of New York’s last six games. I like the OVER 207.5 (-115) on a modest total.
