As part of one of the matches of the regular NBA championship, the players of New York and Charlotte will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
New York Knicks
The team from New York was finally able to regain its place in the play-in zone, although it took a lot of hard work. The team has risen to the ninth place in the Eastern Conference, but you should not relax, because Washington has the same percentage of wins, and Boston is actively on its heels. The New Yorkers won three in a row, managing to put San Antonio, Dallas and Atlanta in their place. Thibodeau's team has caught the courage, and this despite the fact that Derrick Rose and Kemba Walker are in the infirmary.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets stopped a step away from the TOP 6 of the Eastern Conference, so the team has a lot of motivation to break into the playoff zone. The team is moving in the right direction, so Jordan can be happy with his team. "Charlotte" lost in the last meeting, although before that they released a series of four victories. Few expected that the Borrego team would lose to Orlando, also on the home arena, but the hosts underestimated the opponent and conceded.
Statistics and figures:
- The Knicks are the favorites of the meeting;
- The hosts won 4 out of 5 meetings;
- "Charlotte" has 4 wins in 5 meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 104:96 in favor of the Hornets.
Forecast
I believe that the Hornets will be able to win this confrontation. "Charlotte" approach this meeting in a great mood and will do everything to defeat their opponent in a face-to-face duel.
