The New York Knicks have been inconsistent this season, winning only two out of their last 5 games. They haven’t won more than three games in a row, and after doing that, they dropped three straight. The Knicks have had quite an unusual season.
Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle have been the ones carrying the team. In their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers where they won 92-81, Brunson contributed 23 points and 4 assists, In their 121-100 loss to Dallas, Randle scored 24 points and 3 assists. Although these numbers aren’t the highest, they are the best ones the Knicks have got.
For matches played on the road, the Knicks aren’t also doing well. They have a total of 8 losses and 3 wins. They struggle to succeed in games played outside of New York. On November 30th, they defeated the Detroit Pistons 140-110 in Detroit, which is their most recent victory in an away match.
However, the Pistons aren’t a tough opponent for any team in the NBA, so we can’t measure the Knicks’ strength with this match.

Season record: 7-18
- 1XBet Odds: 2.54
- BetMGM Spread: +4.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: 2.50

The Hornets are gradually healing after a streak of 8 losses in a row. Out of their last 10 games, they won 4; this might not be a good number but it is tangible. They have suffered 2 losses so far at home, which is a bad omen for today’s game with the Knicks.
Kelly Oubre and Terry Rozier are the Hornets’ most vital players. Terry secured 26 points in their 105 – 96 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Oubre Jr. scored 28 points in their 119-117 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Charlotte Hornets aren’t strong at home; they are 4-8 and have already lost two games in a row in front of their home crowd. They must win this game with the Knicks if they want to stay close to the Bulls; they are two games behind them and keep their chances of advancing to the Play-In tournament.

Charlotte Hornets VS New York Knicks: Winner Prediction
NBA Picks for Tonight put the New York Knicks as the clear favorite to win tonight’s game and it’s no surprise that the Charlotte Hornets would get the short end of the stick.
The Hornets’ poor home record, has caused experts to have reasonable doubts about their capability to defeat the Knicks which are slightly superior to them. The New York Knicks play better, even if they are inconsistent.
Furthermore, Charlotte’s lineup is badly depleted and the squad will suffer without LaMelo Ball, and due to severe injuries to Mark Williams, Dennis Smith Jr. will not be playing tonight.
While Rozier and Oubre Jr. are okay replacements for this team, they have bad offensive output, which would have been significantly improved by LaMelo if he were present.
This match is really a game of which team sucks less, and because the Knicks who are also bad have a slight edge over the Hornets, NBA Picks favor them.
Final Prediction: New York Knicks Spread.
