Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks, 1 pm Eastern

The Pick: New York +0.5 (-108), bet $10.80 to win $10

You may have to act quickly to find a sportsbook offering New York points, but if so, I’d take it. The Knicks have covered the spread in five of their last six games, and have also won five of those six straight up. They’ve won three straight and five in a row at Madison Square Garden. I know they just traded for him and he's out today, but pairing Cam Reddish with fellow Dukie R.J. Barrett will prove to be an energizing move. Getting a half-point and making it essentially a pick ‘em for a nationally-televised contest today, where the Knicks will be going all out, is a smart play.
