Charlotte at New York

If you are expecting to see Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart, you'll have to wait until the Knicks start the playoffs. The Knicks are locked into the third playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. So this regular season finale means nothing to them. They are going to hold out their best players. New York likely won’t play Mikal Bridges more than a minute or two either just so he can keep alive his consecutive game streak. Instead New York's home fans get to watch Miles McBride, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and the rest of the Knicks' "B" squad. Charlotte beat the Knicks, 114-103, at home in late March when the Knicks were trying to win. So the Hornets, with the motivation of locking down the No. 9 seed in the East with a victory, should win in a blowout. Since the All-Star break, the Hornets are 17-9 and have the fourth-best net rating (+10.9) in the NBA. Earning the ninth seed gives the Hornets home court advantage against the Heat in their play-in game. Take the Hornets.
