New Orleans at Memphis

Premium Pick

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.
