San Antonio at New Orleans

A heavyweight matchup here between the Sours and the Hornets. The Spurs have gotten healthier and the wins have followed as they have now won six straight. The Hornets have been equally impressive of late as they have now won nine of their last 11. When two teams playing like this get together, we usually see defensive intensity, similar to playoff games. The Spurs are in fact 32-14 UNDER the past three seasons in expected close games (with a line of -3 to +3). They are also 20-9 UNDER as a road underdog since last season. New Orleans has held their last five foes to 89 ppg and on the season they are keeping division opponnetns to just 87.3 ppg. Their division games are averagigng just 180 total points per game. The Spurs have scored under their average in division games, putting up just 96.3 per game. I like this one to go UNDER.
