This year when they are on their home court, the other team's starting PFs have averaged 47.7% on three-pointers (2nd-highest in the league) vs. the Knicks, designating this as a good matchup.The Hornets are expected to see a spike in plays in this game from competing against the 10th-fastest pace offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the New York Knicks).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and create extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Hornets rank 4th-best in in the league with 13.6 offensive rebounds per game over the last 10 games.The matchup against the Knicks may be a strong one for getting to the free-throw line; opposing starting PFs have attempted a monstrous 5.2 foul shots per game over the last 5 games (5th-most in the league).
