For the New York Knicks, however, they are probably looking forward to the end of their brutal road trip.

Sadly for backers of the Knicks, heading to New Orleans Arena tonight will most likely only deepen the Knicks' road woes.

The 11.5-point favored Hornets have won three straight at home and are 9-1 in their last 10 at home. New York, meanwhile, has dropped three straight on its four-game road trip and is 3-12 in its last 15 away from home.

The outcome of the game could be decided by the end of the third quarter. New Orleans is one of the league's best teams at closing out opponents with a 19-1 record when leading after three, while New York is 0-18 when trailing entering the final frame.
