Key Factors

Favors Over

Mikal Bridges has converted 6.9 shots made from the field per game this year, placing him in the 88th percentile among all players in the NBA.
Mikal Bridges has converted 3.2 threes per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 higher than he's converted from downtown overall this season.
Mikal Bridges has tallied 38.0 minutes per game this year, putting him among the most-utilized players in the league: 100th percentile.
In regard to offense, the New York Knicks's fantastic 119.7 points per game with the home court advantage comes in as the 3rd-strongest in the NBA this year.
This year, opposing starting SGs have averaged 2.5 3-pointers per game (3rd-most in the NBA) vs. the Hornets, creating a favorable matchup.

Favors Under

The 4th-most lethargic pace-of-play offense in the league this year has been the New York Knicks.
The Knicks are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays today from being pitted against the 2nd-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Charlotte Hornets).
The Knicks check in as the 5th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).
In comparison to last season's 3.9 mark, Mikal Bridges's number of free throw attempts has been reduced this season to 0.7 free throw attempts per game.
