Fanduel Odds

The Knicks have put together a nice 6 game win streak and play a shorthanded Hornets team at home tonight. The Hornets are just 4-6 in their last 10, but come off a big win against the Trail Blazers. The Knicks are healthy and the Hornets are missing Hayward, Ball, and Monk still, and Graham is questionable. The Knicks are playing terrific team basketball, and I think they will have a huge advantage when the benches come out. Derrick Rose fits nicely with the reserve squad and it is like having 2 starting lineups out there. I expect Randle to have another big game tonight, and for the Knicks to get a big win tonight. Take the Knicks -6 and Julius Randle over 27.5 points.
