Los Angeles at New Orleans

With an 0-8 SU/ATS record in their last eight games, the Hornets need a victory in a very big way. Despite that skid, the playoffs are still within striking distance for New Orleans. Tonight, they'll host a Clippers against whom the Hornets are 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games. We catch the Clippers off a win at Houston last night and I find them to be 8-12 SU on the back end of back-to-back games. I expect the revenge-minded Hornets to give them everything they can handle tonight as they are a healthy 28-16 ATS (including 8-3 ATS this season) when playing with two day's rest. Let's take the points with the motivated and rested home dog for two stars.
