Default Hornets -4

NEW ORLEANS (30-25) AT PORTLAND (18-36)


NO:

as a favorite 10-3
-----------------------------------
POR:
when playing against a team with a winning record
6-19

as an underdog 15-34

NO has better Defense and shoots FT's at a
much higher rating.

NO looks solid?

YES OR NO?


FT%
NO 75.4%

Portland is a much better team at home IMG. They roll over on the road but usually play hard at home.

Portland is in trouble:

Przybilla out, Ratliff out, Telfair suspended

Also a trade shook up Portland team. Patterson, Smith, Monya all gone, replaced by Lenard and Skinner.

Really like the hornets also. Took -4 with 6 units.

Hornets are a pretty good team this year. Not great, but not terrible either.

I cashed last night on the Hornets ML, so Im just going to leave this one be. -4 is the limit on points I want to lay, and with them being on the road and game two of a back to back. Its just better value to me to pass to it.

I am aware of that. I had Portland twice on +228ML's
this year.

But I am sure that Hornets will be motivated for this
considering they will have some heavy hitters to
play like Clippers,Lakers,Suns,SA,and Ind to come.

Teams set goals like winning 2 road games in a row.

If the Hornets want to stay in contention they
need this game!!
