Result: Win

Today's winner is Charlotte over New York. This is my Fast Break play.

After back-to-back losses to Toronto and Charlotte, New York is showing signs of mediocrity. This shouldn't be the case for a team that is in the biggest media city in the world…but it is. Words are that even HC, Mike D'Antoni's job is in jeopardy. As we all know, Carmelo Anthony can score points. But when he is on the floor, NY loses a defender. Bobcats Forward, Gerald is a Knicks killer, as he shot 10 of 13 for 24 points earlier this season. As a native New Yorker, I always cheer for the Knicks. But as a 20+ year resident of Manhattan, I know this team. NY won't be a true force until they acquire one or two more cogs in the wheel. They shouldn't be laying 11 to a high school squad. The Bobcats are 7-3 ATS their L10 meetings against the Knicks and 6-0 ATS their L6 vs. the NBA Atlantic. The Knicks are 0-6 ATS their L6 games played at home and 2-8 ATS their L10 games played overall. Take Charlotte. Thank you.
