New Orleans is VERY rested not having played since Wednesday. The offense has been fine, scoring 102 points in each of the last two games - close losses. The Hornets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 against the NBA Southwest Division, and 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. They won't get 102 points this game against the slow-down Memphis defense, but they are taking on a tired team that played last night, a road win at Cleveland. Memphis is still without inside force Zach Randolph, the league's third-leading rebounder, averaging 11.6. Randolph hasn't played since March 3 against Orlando and there is no timetable for his return. This will be the third game in four nights for Memphis, and the Grizzlies are 2-6 ATS against the Western Conference and 0-4 ATS in their last four home games. Go with the visitors.
