New Orleans at Washington

We were on New Orleans two nights ago as a dog trying to scrape up to .500. Well, they did it. Now they have a chance to get above .500 and they are again going to play hard to try to make that happen. They've won four straight and are playing much better basketball but the linesmakers/public don't yet believe it. In their win over Memphis, they held the Grizz to 38% shooting. Over their winning streak, they are holding opponents to 40% on average and just 84.6 points per game. Washington's offense is very good but New Orleans can and will play them tough tonight. Two stars on the Hornets plus the points.
