We've seen two very different New York Knicks teams in just two games so far. They were embarrassed at home losing 104-80 to the Bulls, but then just 24 hours later they upset LeBron and the Cavs in Cleveland. This is their first game since that huge win, and I think they could suffer a let down against the Hornets.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Keeping It Close - The Hornets are 1-1, with both games so far being decided by just two points. One of those was an overtime victory over Milwaukee in their home opener.

2. Kemba Walker - The 24 year old from the Bronx has averaged 24.5 points in his last four at MSG. The Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the Big Apple.

3. X-Factor - The Knicks haven't been a good bet coming off a couple days of rest, going 1-6 in their last seven in such situations.

Selection: This is a play on the Charlotte Hornets (8*)
