The set-up: The Knicks are not a very good team, but they'll be eager to get back into the winners circle here after a 113-106 road loss at Cleveland last time out. New York also plays with revenge here after falling 119-107 in the first matchup in this series at home just this past weekend. The Hornets on the other hand broke a three-game slide with a tough 108-107 win at home over Detroit on Wednesday. The Knicks come in averaging 108.3 PPG and allowing 114.9. Enes Kanter averages 15 points and 11.5 boards per night. The Hornets average 113.9 PPG an they allow 110.7. Kemba Walker averages 26 points and 6.3 dimes per contest.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but New York has seen the total go "under" the number in four of its last five off an upset loss as a road favorite, while Charlotte has seen the total go "under" in three of four already this season as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. This number is high, play the "under."
