The Hornets have been playing at a slower pace over the last week, reflected in the fact that no team has reached as many as 100 points across Charlotte's last three games. That includes games before last night's loss to the Knicks, when LaMelo Ball had to sit due to a strained calf, which is now to keep him out until mid-December. But the pace of the game vs. NY was similar to those of Miami and Orlando games earlier in the week. As Charlotte games had hit 231 on the scoreline or higher in the preceding five games, can sense this is a tactical change by HC Charles Lee. We'll see if the Hawks, off of back-to-back surprises vs. the Cavs, play along, but they have been trending slightly "under" (4-3) their past seven games. Play Hawks-Hornets "Under"
