With home advantage for the 2025-26 NBA play-in tournament up for grabs, the Charlotte Hornets will hope to catch the New York Knicks off guard as the teams meet on Sunday night (US time). This match at Madison Square Garden in New York between the third-placed Knicks (53-28) and the ninth-placed Hornets (43-38) comes with our prediction of Knicks +12.5 handicap.
The Knicks are guaranteed to finish third, and as such will look to test the squad and continue their winning run. Hornets are pencilled in for the play-in tournament and will secure homecourt advantage in the first game with a win here.
The Knicks continued their winning run and made it five victories in a row in the NBA with a commanding 112-95 win over the Toronto Raptors. Their charge was led by Jalen Brunson (29) with a 12-for-18 shooting from the field.
It gets better at home, as New York have nine wins from their last ten home games (L1), including seven in a row.
The Hornets are coming off a 118-100 loss to the Detroit Pistons, for a second defeat in a row. Lamelo Ball did his best with 27 points and eight rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Pistons.
Charlotte have lost to the Boston Celtics in their last away game for a second win in three trips (L1).
