NBA - 505 New York Knicks @ 506 Charlotte Bobcats
Projected Line: Charlotte by 5 points
After yesterday's results, the Knicks have their #2 seed in the East locked and so, Carmelo Anthony won't play tonight in order to rest for the playoffs. In fact, considering how veteran their roster is, I wouldn't be surprised if more players also rest tonight. The NY team is coming from a big home win over the Pacers yesterday and with a meaningless back to back game today, I expect their effort to be very poor.
On the other side, Charlotte is coming from a nice home win over Milwaukee last Saturday night and they seem focused in reaching the 20 wins mark:
In an article on Thursday, coach Mike Dunlap said, “We really want to get to 20 wins. It would be important. We wanted to get around tripling our win rate from last year.”
Therefore, I expect the Bobcats to show good effort tonight, while taking advantage of the big backcourt speed edge they will have with Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson. I see Charlotte having a big effort edge tonight over a shorthanded Knicks's roster, therefore I'll be taking the Bobcats in here.
