INJURY TO WATCH
Knicks center Kyle O’Quinn (hip) and shooting guard Damyean Dotson (foot) are both questionable. For the Hornets, shooting guard Nicolas Batum (Achilles) is questionable. Center Cody Zeller (knee) is out.
BETTING STRATEGY
The Knicks won 124-101 the last time these two teams met on March 17. The over has hit in six of the last seven meetings. Both teams have tilted toward the under lately, but a lot of that has had to do with the style of play and defensive ability of the opponent. Expect these two teams to put up a lot of points tonight and send this to the over.
