New Orleans Hornets (-4.5 Points) vs. Golden State
The Hornets can clinch a second consecutive playoff spot with a win tonight. Golden State continues to be a horrible defensive team, giving up 113.1 PPG at home-the worst in the NBA. New Orleans needs this win badly and should be able to handle a bad Warriors team even without the services of Tyson Chandler tonight.

Play: New Orleans Hornets (-4.5 Points)

San Antonio Spurs (-4 Points) vs. Indiana Pacers
While the Spurs are in a recent funk and the Pacers are playing well now-it’s important to look at the big picture: San Antonio has handled the Pacers over the years and ,after fumbling away the last few seconds of a one-point loss to the Thunder, dropped a spot in the Western Conference race. They face Cleveland on Sunday, so this game in Indiana is a “must win” for them. After all the Cavaliers are a much tougher road opponent than the Pacers.
