New Orleans at Los Angeles

This line may look high with the defensive-minded Hornets coming to town, but that defense just hasn't translated for this New Orleans team on the road against winning teams. They have been pounded and scored on by the .500+ teams on the road. Cleveland, Orlando, and Boston beat this team by a combined 46 points or 15.3 points per game. Throw in San Antonio's 13-point win and Utah's 26-point win and this isn't a good spot for the Hornets. The Lakers offense is playing good, having topped the 100-point mark in 23 of their last 25 games, and that is bad news for the Hornets who are now 2-12 ATS on the season when they allow 100+. The Lakers get the money in this one.
