The New Orleans Pelicans will look to cash in a rest advantage over the New York Knicks in tonight’s matchup.
The Pelicans had a day of rest yesterday. The Knicks did not, beating the Washington Wizards, 115-109, behind Julius Randles’ 46 points seven made 3s.
The Knicks are 5-4 on the second night of back-to-backs. Their defense remains stout, holding opponents to 110.9 points per game, but their offense wanes somewhat. They average 112.1 points per game, though, that’s due to a good free throw rate (26.4 FTA) — from 3-point range, they’re connecting on only 29.
