This year, opposing starting SGs have averaged 2.5 3-pointers per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) against the Charlotte Hornets, resulting in a favorable matchup.The New York Knicks are expected to see a rise in plays in this game from sharing the court with the 6th-speediest pace-of-play road team in the league over the last 10 games (the Hornets).The Knicks rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to new chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, the opposition's starting SGs have attempted 4.0 foul shots per game (4th-most in the league) vs. the Charlotte Hornets, making it fairly effortless to get to the free-throw line.
