It would be nice to know if Charlotte's Devonte' Graham will play after missing his past two, but the Knicks should win this even if he does go as Charlotte is without LaMelo Ball (although he's on the way back), Gordon Hayward and Malik Monk. I do think it's a minor trap game for New York off Sunday's thrilling win so not going near the spread.

Not only have the Knicks won six straight games, but they have covered the spread in nine straight. They have a sparkling 18-10 record ATS at home, which includes going 10-2 ATS as a home favorite. With the Hornets still missing LaMelo Ball (wrist), Gordon Hayward (foot) and Malik Monk (ankle), look for the Knicks to continue their excellent performance at home.
