Golden State at New Orleans

New Orleans and Chris Paul have playoffs in sight. What seemed an improbability weeks ago where they had lost their last 11/12 this team has been rejuvinated putting together several wins during their home stand including their recent win against Memphis at home in a huge televised event. They look to take this momentum at home against Golden State who has been struggling mightily without Baron Davis who has missed several weeks worth of action. His absence clearly was evident as this team got smoked by about 30 points at Memphis - a team that New Orleans beat at home. Given this and the fact that the Hornets will look to gain a game on the Kings today who have a tough test against them at San Antonio, I look for the Hornets to step up early and fast as they are 4-0 ATS of late at home and the Warriors are 0-6 ATS on the road as a small dog.
