Why do books give the Hornets so much credit?

A 5.5 point favorite tonight over the Knicks? Really? Charlotte is 10-19. They’ve been terrible.

Horns 8-8 at home and Knicks 2-8 on the road though.

I've been burned twice by the Hornets in last week or so.

Plus no porzingis and let down game after knicks taking out carmelo

MJ worst owner in sports

Although I lean Knicks myself, this line is not terrible. It says Hornets would be -2/-2.5 over Knicks without Unicorn on neutral floor. Seems reasonable.

They will cover,they are way over due too have a good game and cover

Is Porzingis out? I did not see any reports of him being out when I made this thread.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will be a game-time call vs. the Hornets on Monday.


Porzingis will test his knee out during the morning shootaround, but he isn't expected to make a final decision on his status until after warmups this evening. Hornacek did say over the weekend that Porzingis was doing better, but the Knicks are usually very careful with their franchise player. If he can't go, Michael Beasley will be a popular streaming option after lighting up the Thunder for 30 points.

So still iffy but this line at least partly adjusted.

Hornets were without Batum and Kildchrist when these teams played earlier. Knicks have also been terrible away from Madison Square Garden.

Its funny you started this thread......I've been thinking this all year long. There's been numerous times the Hornets have been large favorites where I faded, and my team won straight up.

Porzingis confirmed Out.

[bonzaii]

I put a pretty large wager on the Hornets earlier. IF they somehow lose this game with Hardaway still being out as well. Better not have your car parked outside.

Books were right tonight

[IBetYou]

They were wrong. 10pts off and you call that accurate?!!
