San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Hornets
Most NBA fans and handicappers have an underlining understanding of coach Popovich's guidance towards post season and their need to improve on this road trip. It will test the Spurs against the likes of Cleveland and Orlando, but for tonight it the Hornets. Interestingly Hornets are getting better line with Tim Duncan getting rested on second of back to back. This may not be that bad as shown by the line movement, it's the play on team without their leading player, but considering no cover ATS on the first game and allowed opponents +109 points there's enough to play against the Spurs on the road. Hornets are mediocre this season barely .500 ATS coming off a no cover loss at Dallas. Nothing to write home about with home games either, but they are the better back to back team. 21-11 ATS against winning teams, 8-4 in second half. There are issues with assists, fast break points and 4 straight road losses which all gives more for the public to like Spurs. Go against no cover team as a favorite on second of back to back. Take the points with the home team.
HORNETS +3
