Milwaukee at New Orleans

This is a matchup of two teams that are playing above average basketball, not scoring as much as the fans would like to see but getting the job done (as of late).  The difference seen here is head to head. The hornets have been 3-1 their last 4 games. C. Paul is playing wonderful basketball and it looks like he will be the Rookie of the Year at this rate. Good guard play is always needed in the NBA to win, and the hornets now have that. They just came back from Memphis where they won, on the road, even though they were 7 point dogs. The Hornets have gone 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. The fans cheer this team on as if they were 36-5, loving every moment of every game and the players have surely responded at home. I see it being no different here. Take N.O. giving 4.5 here for three stars.
