The Knicks are coming into this game with just one day of rest following a brutal 2-point loss to the Timberwolves.
New York did cover as 4-point home underdogs. The Knicks have covered in four of their last five games. At home, they’ve oddly been worse at home as well, just 11-13 at MSG as compared to 11-10 on the road.
That said, the Pelicans have covered four of their last six, failing to cover in Boston despite jumping out to an early double-digit lead. New Orleans is just 6-17 overall on the road and 6-13 against the spread (ATS) as a road underdog.
