The Heat take the floor for the first time after their 27-game winning streak was snapped in Chicago. It woulld not be surprising to see LeBron and company getting rest time here. Playing reduced minutes, will hamper the offensive ability of the Heat. New Orleans will be focused against the World Champs, and like to play a slow tempo. New Orleans has scored 100+ just one time in their last 10 games, and allowed 100+ just twice in their last 10, so the points will not come easy here from either side. The Hornets' extra slow on the pace vs. elite teams has resulted to a 9-2 mark to the UNDER in their last 11 vs. a team with a road winning percentage gretaer than .600. This one stays UNDER.
