New Orleans at Minnesota

It is interesting how the fan's hearts are all with New Orleans, yet the money is always against them. New Orleans is often underrated when it comes to the sports line; they are 4-1 in their last 5 ATS. Minnesota on the other hand with their superstar KG, has been overrated at times. They are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Most people know that Kevin Garnett can take over a basketball game and especially when he is in front of his home fans. The problem is that Garnett doesn't have a supporting cast around him to help in times of need and is feeling the weight of all the pressure to perform and win games. Add this to the fact that a lot of their losses have been against opponents who are playing "team oriented" basketball, rather than just letting one superstar take over the game, and you'll see why Minnesota has only one win straight up and ATS in their last 6. Even without C. Paul, New Orleans is a basketball team that shares the rock and will find the weak areas Minnesota has and exploit them. Take the 6 points and watch New Orleans have a chance to not only cover, but win this game outright. Two stars on the Hornets plus the points.
