The game here is going to see the Charlotte Hornets coming in rested from having Tuesday off, but also playing at home. The Knicks, though, are coming in playing in back to back games and on the year so far the Knicks have not really been that big of a powerhouse offensively. What else hurts the Knicks chances of winning this game is the fact that the Knicks rely heavily on Randle. That type of reliance will be costly if Randle gets into foul trouble at all. Look for the Hornets with the better rounded team and overall consistent play on the offensive side of the ball to secure the win here, but still the game will go under I think as the Hornets offense will be put in check by the Knicks defense.
