The New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets meet three or four times a regular season, depending on where the league’s conference rotation puts them. Of the ten conference clubs outside its own division, each team plays six four times and four of them three times, and which group a given opponent falls into rotates from season to season — so a Knicks vs Hornets season is either three games or four, and which one is a property of that year’s schedule rather than of the pairing.

Are the Knicks and Hornets in the same division?

No. The New York Knicks play in the Atlantic Division and the Charlotte Hornets in the Southeast. Both divisions sit in the Eastern Conference, so this is a conference game between clubs from different divisions rather than a division rivalry — it counts in each club’s conference record but not in its division one.

What is at stake when the Knicks play the Hornets?

Conference seeding. The Knicks and the Hornets are both Eastern Conference clubs, so the result goes into the conference record that separates them in the standings, and with it the difference between a top-six seed, a play-in place at seventh to tenth, and no postseason at all. If these two finish level, their head-to-head result is read before that record is.

Can the Knicks and Hornets meet in the playoffs?

Yes. Both clubs are in the Eastern Conference, so a Knicks vs Hornets playoff series is possible anywhere from the first round through the Eastern Conference Finals, on top of the regular-season meetings — and they can meet in the play-in tournament before that if both finish seventh to tenth.
