The offense has been pretty average as they own the 14th ranked offense in efficiency. Their defense has been a little worse ranking 18th in efficiency.
On the road the offense has been mediocre ranking 12th in PPG, 19th in FG% and 6th in 3PT%. They also really struggle making free throws ranking 27th on the road. The defense has been mediocre as well ranking 17th in PPG, 21st FG%, 24th in 3PT% and 15th in RPG.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Charlotte has been stroking it recently, shooting 49.8% from the field in their last five contests, which is better than their season average of 44.8%. It has been ugly defensively as they are giving up 120.8 PPG in that span.
New York Knicks
New York can just go full-out tank mode at this point and try to get in the running for the number one lottery pick. Not a bad start losing their last nine games while also going 2-7 ATS in that span.
Their most recent outing was a 110-118 loss to Philadelphia in which they were able to cash in four more buckets than Philadelphia, but the free throw game was the difference as Philadelphia converted 15 of 37 while New York only converted 5 of 20.
Their offense hasn’t been in great shape ranking 23rd in efficiency, while their defense isn’t too much better ranking 21st overall.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction: Charlotte keeps playoff hopes alive
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Charlotte -6.5
Charlotte is living on a sliver of playoff hopes now, and at this point every win is crucial. The odds are still slim, but crazier things have happened.
New York is tanking and have not been playing competitive basketball.
I’ll go with the team that has been shooting converting over 50% of their shots in their last couple of games. Lay the points with the team that still has something to play for.
