 Charlotte Hornets (33-37) at New York Knicks (39-31)

When: 1:00 pm EDT

Where: Madison Square Garden; New York, NY

How to watch: Bally Sports Southeast, NBA League Pass

 

The Hornets need a win in the worst way. They currently hold the same record as the Pacers and sit just a half game up on the Wizards. They have the tiebreaker over both teams, but that won’t matter if they keep losing games. Their magic number to clinch the eight seed and the easier of the two paths in the play-in tournament is two, meaning they need some combination of two Hornets wins or Pacers losses to clinch that spot.

We’ll talk about the Pacers later. But first, the Hornets can control their own destiny if they just win their games. Today they play the surprisingly good Knicks. The Knicks looked like overachievers in the first half of the season, and many saw their difficult second half schedule and figured they’d crash out of the playoff race. Instead, they’ve rallied in the later parts of the season and are in the running to host a first round playoff series.

    • Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
    • Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky. 
    • Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
