The New York Knicks started the 2024 preseason in Charlotte and will host the Hornets on Tuesday in their second-to-last preseason game. New York is 3-0 in the preseason and Charlotte is 2-1 with wins over Miami and Memphis.
The Knicks pulled out a two-point win over Charlotte last Sunday, 111-109. Miles McBride led New York with 22 points off the bench on 8-of-18 shooting. Jalen Brunson (12) and Karl-Anthony Towns (12) scored double-digits. The win was KAT's first game with the Knicks.
LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 18 points (6-of-14 shooting). He missed Charlotte's preseason win on Thursday for rest.
The Knicks and Hornets will meet for the first time in the regular season on Nov. 29 in the NBA Cup group stage. Charlotte will host the matchup. New York and Charlotte were in the same group last year.
