Chicago at New Orleans

The New Orleans Hornets were in for a long season when Chris paul was plucked from the roster. Paul gave a bad offense life with his distribution and penetration skills as well as a strong scoring option. The Hornets have managed 100 points just twice on the season and will have to find a way to score vs. a Chicago team that is arguably the best on the defensive end in the league. The Bulls have held seven teams already this season below the 80 point mark on the season. The Hornets have lost 21 of their last 23 games and could again be without their top two scorers (Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry) while Eric Gordon remains out with a knee bruise. You have to think twice about laying big points on the road but the Bulls are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five on the road laying 5 to 10 points. They are also 11-4 ATS overall in their last 15 on the road and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. a team with a losing record. The Hornets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 vs. a winning team and 3-10 ATS overall in their last 13 at home. Take the Bulls here.
