Houston at New Orleans

Despite a triple-double from Chris Paul and a career-high scoring output from David West, the Hornets couldn't beat Houston earlier this week. I like Houston to get it done again here. Houston allows 46.8% shooting on defense, but so what? The Hornets are 1-11 ATS this season vs. teams that allow 46%+ from the field. The Hornets are also 5-13 ATS vs. teams that allow 99+ points per game. They are 20-40 ATS vs. such teams the past two seasons. And, the Hornets are 18-30 ATS over that span after a game in which they covered the spread. I like the Rockets here.
