Prediction
The Knicks are closing the season strong, having won their last 4 games but it's probably too late for them, they would need the Hawks to lose almost of their remaining games. New York have covered the spread in 10 of their last 14 games but are struggling at home. The Hornets are playing good on the road but with the Knicks playing great defense I think the play is the under. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Charlotte's last 5 games and in 7 of their last 10 games against the Knicks.
