Golden State at New Orleans

The Warriors went through a bad stretch on the road, losing nine of ten. But, they broke out in a big way vs. Houston on Sunday, winning by 30. Confidence from that game should carry over here, and I don't believe Golden State will be overconfident vs. the 22-45 Hornets. Klay Thompson said after the big Houston win, "If we don't take care of business in New Orleans, this means nothing. Every win from here on out is a big, big game and you have to take wins where you get them and it's not easy." Under Mark Jackson, this team is 19-8 ATS after failing to cover the spread in two of their last three games. I believe the Warriors come to play here and cover this number. I also like the UNDER here. Golden State is not the same offensive team on the road as they are at home. Their last ten road games has them averaging 97.5 ppg. New Orleans is not a team that is going to let this turn into a track meet, especially at home. The Hornets have not shown to be very capable of late on the offensive end where they have averaged 92.6 ppg in their last five. The Warriors have played five straight to the UNDER vs. the West, the teams that know them best. Take Golden State and the UNDER here.
