The Charlotte Hornets' 116.5-point implied total is Monday's highest as they take on a New York Knicks team that has fully committed to tanking.

The Knicks have played at an above-average pace since the break, and they rank dead last with a 114.0 defensive rating in that time. Already allowing above-average fantasy production to point guards this season, they have continued to give significant run to the league's worst defensive point guard in Emmanuel Mudiay, despite their defensive rating being 9.7 points worse with Mudiay on the floor than when he's off. For context, 9.7 points is slightly bigger than the difference between the Knicks and the New Orleans Pelicans, who rank 10th in the NBA in defensive rating since the break.

Kemba Walker has topped 43 FanDuel points (5.0 per $1,000 of today's salary) in three of his last four games, averaging 47.4 fantasy points per night in that stretch with a pair of FanDuel outputs north of 50. He should continue to roll in this matchup.
