Los Angeles at New Orleans

The Los Angeles Lakers look to close-out the New Orleans Hornets tonight on the road. LA is off their best performance in the series. They’re now entering game six with a 16-point home win. The Lakers went for 106 points at home - their best output of the series, but New Orleans is a much better defensive team on their home court. The Lakers have been a much more focused team on defense after a day of rest, and the record shows the Lake Show is 42-19 in their last 61 with a day of rest. The Hornets have certainly clamped down on defense after allowing 100 points, leading to a 26-12 mark in their last 38 after allowing 100+ to the UNDER. The total comes in UNDER tonight in New Orleans.
