NBA - 701 New Orleans Hornets @ 702 Indiana Pacers
Projected line: Indiana by 8 points
The Hornets proved yesterday that they don't give up on the games, but still the books are treating them like an absolutely horrible team! They were on an early hole yesterday in Oklahoma City by getting outscored by 18-31 in the first quarter and then 20-29 in the second quarter! Coach Williams used more the 2nd unit in the game thanks to that and it was due to some bench players that they made this game more competitive at the end, especially Jack, Jones and Aminu. With that, nobody from the Hornets played more than 30 minutes and so, this back to back spot isn't that bad.
On the other side, Indiana is coming from a mega win against the Bobcats, in one of the biggest no shows I've watched this season. Indiana outplayed Charlotte 37-11 on offensive rebound rate, while shooting 8-15 FG in transition and 6-9 FG on offensive rebound plays. Everything was just so easy for the Pacers, but in today's game I don't expect that to happen, as the Hornets are a decent defensive team and a good rebounding team. The Hornets will make this game a slow paced one by using their great rebounding and great transition defense and by putting the Pacers at such slow pace, I don't expect Indiana to be able to blowout them. Therefore, I will take New Orleans today.
