Chicago at New Orleans

Although Chris Paul will likely sit this one out with a hamstring injury, I still like the Hornets at home against a weak Bulls team that won’t be able to exploit the loss. The Bulls are just 5-10 ATS on the season against teams with a winning record, and would have covered a line this small in just two of those 15 games. The Hornets would have covered this line in nine of 12 at home against teams with a losing record on the season. The Hornets are stinging the books with sizzling 20-6-1 ATS mark in their last 27 as a favorite of -4.5 points or less, and have rebounded big after a loss where they are 45-21-2 ATS. This is not the right place for the Bulls and the Hornets get the call.
