New Orleans laying points on the road?!? Yes! That shows you how bad Portland is. Portland continues to be one of the worst teams in the league while New Orleans has been a pleasant surprise to date. David West and Chris Paul lead this young Hornets squad who have been impressive, already notching eight wins, when it took them until February last season to win nine. They should get their ninth win tonight against the hapless Blazers who have dropped six straight. Road favorites that are average defensively and rebounding-wise facing an opponent that is poor in both of thhose categories hit at an 80% clip in the NBA. Two stars on the Hornets.
