NBA - 711 Denver Nuggets @ 712 New Orleans Hornets
Projected line: 190 points | Denver by 12 points
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
For today, we have three players from the Hornets returning from injury: Gordon, Ariza and Landry. In fact, Gordon is even likely to be in the starting lineup today!
"I should be more explosive now because I’ve been playing with an injured knee since I’ve been here,’’ Gordon said. ``I’m ready to get back there to play like I do normally."
These players will be back, but they lack rhythm and they will steal minutes and shots from some key players from the Hornets, especially J. Jack! Therefore, I expect Denver to have a good game tonight against a team who is a great matchup for them. New Orleans is #26 in transition defense and they have been terrible on the interior defense by allowing 72% FG at the rim in their last 5 games and 65% FG in their last 10 games! I expect Denver's offense to take advantage of these two areas on this game.
The Nuggets will be playing their last game of a road trip and they are 2-0 on their last two games. They are coming from a win in Orlando who was without Howard. Coach Karl is still looking for the correct rotations, but the Nuggets are just allowing 55% FG at the rim in their last 5 games. Denver is hungry to try to look for a playoff spot, they are a much physical team than the Hornets and I expect them to have a comfortable win tonight. Therefore, I'll take Denver today in a Double Dime Play! Considering the problems I expect New Orleans to have on offense today, I'll also be taking the Under in here as well.
