The Knicks are struggling right now having lost five of their last eight games and Mikal Bridges has voiced some frustrations with Head Coach Tom Thibadeau regarding the amount of minutes he and his teammates have played. As a result we’ve seen Bridges play “only” 32 minutes in consecutive games and this could be another opportunity to rest him some considering it’s their third game in four days. The Hornets are also a tough matchup as not only do they play very slow but they’re tough on opposing Guards and defend players with similar skillsets well. I would play this down to 16.5.
