Premium Pick

Charlotte is only 11-30, but the Hornets have gotten the money more often than not with a 21-19-1 ATS mark this season. New Orleans is 19-26-0 ATS and it comes off a 139-126 loss at Memphis last night and now plays a back-to-back. The Pelicans lost despite shooting 54.2 percent while making 14 of 34 3-point tries. They are unlikely to shoot that well in consecutive games. Charlotte had a rare three-game win streak before losing its past two, but the Hornets are 5-1-1 ATS in their past seven games as underdogs and 5-1 ATS in their past six Saturday games. New Orleans has gone OVER four straight and six of seven. Charlotte has gone OVER four of six. The Pelicans have allowed 124.3 points in their past four games. New Orleans has lost 17 of 20 road games. Take the Hornets and the OVER.
