After a four-game winning streak, the Hornets, who had faced the Nets, Suns, Pacers, and Timberwolves, ran into a pair of powerhouses, the Celtics and Pistons, and couldn't secure a win against either. This is the Hornets' final game of the season. It will have repercussions for their play-in seeding, and their starters are expected to be on the court. However, the same cannot be said for the Knicks, who have already clinched the third seed and will rest their key players.
The Hornets faced the Pistons' physical style of play and suffered: the conference leaders scored 62 points in the paint. Despite this, the team's star players performed well, with LaMelo Ball scoring 27 points and Miller 22, although Rookie of the Year candidate Kon Knuckleball only managed 10 points.
As for the Knicks, it's clear they're doing things right; Other coaches from other teams have praised his energetic style and ability to fight for rebounds. However, Towns and Brunson, who are sidelined with minor injuries, face a challenging situation, and this game appears to be a mere formality for the Knicks, who are focused on the playoffs.

Our New York Knicks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
LaMello has had a series of outstanding performances to close out April. The player who wears number 1 for the Hornets had two consecutive games of 35 or more points against Minnesota and the Celtics, both road games, on April 5th and 7th.
As for the betting odds for the final month of the regular season, it seems that teams already eliminated or already qualified for the playoffs tend to lose by a landslide against teams still fighting for something; that's why it would seem like a good idea to bet on the Hornets on Saturday.
Our prediction for Knicks vs Hornets is: Hornets -11.5.
