The Charlotte Hornets will be more than a little short-handed in their clash against the New York Knicks Saturday, with eight players set to be sidelined.

Charlotte will have their work cut out for them as they welcome a dominant New York Knicks team who have won five of their last seven, and sit fourth in the East.
