New Orleans at Oklahoma City

Seattle is off a very ugly performance against Utah. The Sonics shot 33% from the field. They will be looking to shake off that feeling tonight. Their leading rebounder, Kurt Thomas, missed the Utah game with a sprained ankle but he's back for this one. We expect an inspired effort by Seattle here. Losing home teams off a double-digit loss to a division rival are excellent moneyline bets in their next game. Meanwhile, New Orleans was crushed by 12 points (76-88) at Portland last game. Winning road teams off a bad road loss, scoring less than 80 points, lose 65% of the time in their next game out. The Hornets are 2-10 in this particular situation the past three seasons.
