The Charlotte Hornets, currently sitting at 6-15, are set for a challenging matchup against the 13-8 New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Scheduled for a Thursday night showdown at 7:30 PM ET, the Knicks enter as massive favorites.

New York's recent form is a significant factor in these odds, as they have won their last three games, including a convincing 121-106 victory over the Orlando Magic. In contrast, the Hornets are struggling, having lost six straight games, with their most recent defeat being a narrow 110-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

For bettors eyeing player props, Karl-Anthony Towns's performance in points and rebounds is drawing considerable attention. The prop total for Towns opened at over 36.5 points and rebounds, priced at -120, and the market has since moved to 37.5 (-110), indicating sharp money backing the over. This shift suggests expectations for Towns to have a significant impact on the game.

This matchup is a tale of two teams on divergent paths. The Knicks are in a groove, bolstered by their recent successes, while the Hornets are in desperate need of a turnaround. With New York's solid play at home and Charlotte's ongoing struggles, the odds and trends highlight the Knicks as the team to beat in this encounter.
