Bookmakers experts consider New York to be the undisputed favorites of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Charlotte will have minimal chances of success. And that true. Thibodeau team has been playing well at home against not the most formidable opponents this season. Lee team will play their first away match after a disastrous home series. The team from the Big Apple will have to achieve a convincing victory over a demoralized opponent.
Our prediction is a New York victory with a handicap of (-14.5) points including overtime at 1.78
