The New York Knicks are returning home after a challenging five-game road trip, where they learned critical lessons about how opponents like Dallas and Charlotte exploited their weaknesses with effective switching defenses.
Despite the Pelicans’ struggles, with a league-low offensive average of 103.5 points per game, they still feature capable players like Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum who can pose challenges for the Knicks.
ESPN predicts a 75% chance of a Knicks victory, highlighting their home-court advantage and stronger talent pool compared to a depleted Pelicans squad missing key players.
New York excels defensively, leading the league in rebounds allowed and ranking second in effective field goal percentage, indicating a strong foundational performance against New Orleans.
