New Orleans at Indiana

The New Orleans Hornets have hit a bump after starting the season with a 12-1 mark as they have been just 5-10 since. It might look bad, but the scoring margin over the 15 game "bad" stretch shows them at just -28 or less than 2 points per game, so they certainly have been more than competitive. Indiana continues to be a sub-.500 team and has been so for several years. The Hornets have been good after posting 100+ in their previous game as they have followed by going 5-2-1 ATS. That same marker for the Pacers has been a death knell as they are just 1-6 ATS facing an opponent off a 100+ performance on the offensive end. I'll go with New Orleans here.
