Tip off will be at 6 PM EDT on ESPN2. <\/p>\n<p id=\"I9epzJ\">Ariel Hukporti and James Nnaji should have opportunities to show their stuff today. Charlotte isn\u2019t loaded up front, but they\u2019ve got athleticism and shooters\u2014expect them to push the pace and test New York\u2019s transition defense. Nick Smith Jr. and Tidjane Sala\u00fcn headline the Hornets\u2019 summer squad and could pose a challenge on the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3RDGNW\">Assistant coach Jordan Brink is again running the show on the sidelines. Wins don\u2019t mean much in Summer League, but this is a good opportunity for the Knicks to show some cohesion under pressure. New head coach Mike Brown has been taking in the games, watching to see who might contribute during the regular season. Elsewhere, Marcus Smart rides an exercise bike and awaits a phone call from his agent. . . .<\/p>\n<p>DETAILS:<\/p>\n<p id=\"qBXeVF\">Who: New York Knicks vs. Charlotte Hornets<\/p>\n<p id=\"UJCY3y\">When: Tuesday, July 15, 6:00 PM ET<\/p>\n<p id=\"1aQd3g\">Where: Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas<\/p>\n<p id=\"ARIaCp\">Watch: ESPN2, NBA TV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Knicks are back in action tonight as they take on the Charlotte Hornets in their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3777],"tags":[273,7,684,473,3878,246,28,142,685,23242,304,16315,6,3494,2962,1366,30700,2963,143],"class_list":{"0":"post-172421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-charlotte-hornets","8":"tag-and","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-charlotte","11":"tag-charlotte-hornets","12":"tag-charlottehornets","13":"tag-exclude-from-stn-video","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-game","16":"tag-hornets","17":"tag-july","18":"tag-knicks","19":"tag-knicks-game-previews","20":"tag-nba","21":"tag-nba-summer-league","22":"tag-posting","23":"tag-preview","24":"tag-summerknicks","25":"tag-toasting","26":"tag-vs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114857764809120060","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
