Game Preview
In a season that featured many second-tier squads, the Knicks established themselves as one of the league's premier teams. Their resilience and strategic prowess recall playoff contenders like Toronto Raptors; yet as they prepare to make their first road appearance since Round 2, their opponent appears far tougher to defeat than ever.
The Knicks enter this game with an roster filled with young talent who have shown their worth this summer. Their addition will provide much-needed depth for an ineffective unit over recent seasons; additionally, it will be interesting to observe Karl-Anthony Towns as he adapts to Tom Thibodeau's system.
Charlotte has proven itself as a standout offensive unit with an effective defensive approach in away games, managing to limit their opponents' scoring while showing impressive levels of concentration and support among its team players.
However, there remain concerns over the health of Charlotte Hornets backcourt players, specifically Brandon Miller's status due to a knee injury which kept him out of Summer League and limited his preseason participation. Miller will be crucial if Charlotte are to compete with New York. It would also be wise to keep an eye on rookie guard Miles Bridges.
