Sacramento at New Orleans

The New Orleans Hornets made a lot of noise in the NBA last season as an up and coming team. This season they have been slow out of the gate at 5-4 and have not covered in any of their last six. The biggest reason is they are simply in an offensive rut right now, having scored 89 or less in five of the last six. That hits the danger zone when trying to lay double-digits and your offense is nowhere to be found. The fact is they haven't won a game by this margin the entire season yet because of it! The Kings, after an 0-4 start, have played a lot more competitive basketball as they are even at 4-4 in their last eight. They were blown out of the building in three of their first four, but have lost by just one, two, and eight points in three of their last four losses. Too many points here, I'll take the Kings to hang tough.
