*All statistics, rankings, standings and records are accurate as of this writing at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 26.
Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets enter this game scoring 105.2 points per game. That number is only good enough to place them in the lower half of the league, but just barely.
They’re currently 16th in the category.

Defensively, Charlotte is giving up 103.4 points per contest. For those keeping track, that number is only good enough for 10th across the Association and gives them a positive net rating of 1.8.
The Hornets’ recent stretch has been filled with runs, both positive and negative. Currently they hold a two-game losing streak, but before that they had won three straight.

Before that, however, the team had lost five straight, including seven of eight.
The good news here is that the two recent losses have been against quality teams. They fell to the Golden State Warriors on ESPN Wednesday night, and they dropped one to the surging Washington Wizards before that.
The Knicks are a team more in line with the ones Charlotte faced during its recent three-game winning streak.
Don’t let a two-game slide against two excellent teams sway you.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are averaging 105.4 points per contest, which is good enough for 14th in the NBA.
They’re giving up 108.1 points per contest, which places them in the 25th spot.
But that’s not why we doubt the Knicks.
New York has proven this season that it has absolutely no consistency either on the court or in terms of management.
One day the team wants to keep Carmelo Anthony, the next we find out that they’ve shopped him to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and LA Clippers.
There’s also the ongoing fact that Derrick Rose looks vintage one night, old man the next (we’ve moved on from the fact that he disappeared completely before a game without telling anybody where he was going…but we’ll never forget in terms of how this season has gone).

The Knicks need stability, and they’re not going to get it this season.
Normally these types of issues wouldn’t impact any single outing, but with its superstar on the block and speaking freely to the media about his confusion, there’s little reason to trust this group on or off the court.
