Houston at New Orleans

The New Orleans Hornets played perhaps their worst game of the season yesterday against the Orlando Magic, managing just 68 points. It certainly has affected this line considerably as they are just a slight favorite. Despite a 10-7 mark on the road, half of Houston’s wins are against teams that have yet to win more than eight games on the season. It has been a much different story on the road against teams with a winning record where the Rockets have been just 3-5 in their last eight. The Hornets are a young team that rebounds quickly when having to play back-to-back games. They have gone 28-10-3 ATS in their last 41, and I like them in this one. I also like the UNDER. The Hornets have played seven-straight to the UNDER. They have also played to a 35-17-2 record to the UNDER when the visitor has a winning record on the season.
