Result:
WIN

The Nuggets acquired a good young infusion of talent when they dealt Melo to the Knicks. As a result, they come into this one at 6-3 on the season and a perfect 4-0 at home. While they have been the Nuggets of old scoring 110+ on four occasions, they show their youth scoring in the 90s in four others. The New Orleans Hornets will again be without their best player Eric Gordon who will miss a few more weeks to get his knee right. This team has some good depth and likes to slow the pace down, which makes a huge pointspread a target for the dog here. They have allowed just one team 100 points this season and that was 101, so there is a strong likelihood that they can hang inside an inflated number here. The Hornets’ track record indicates as such as they are 10-3 ATS playing in the role of a road dog of 11 or more points. Play on New Orleans in this one.
