I’m not sure if anyone who was asked would have said the New Orleans Hornets would be the last team standing in the NBA without a blemish. But here they are the NBA's one and only at 7-0. They have the league’s most efficient point guard in Chris Paul who fills the stat sheet every night with positive numbers. Paul is at 18 points per game, grabbing 5 boards, 10 assists and 17 steals already, while turning the ball over just 12 times in seven games. The Hornets have not scored a lot, but still have eight players averaging 8 per game, as Paul keeps everyone happy. Portland came flying out of the gate winning their first three, but is just 3-4 and struggling since. The Hornets have had some close calls, and this one could be close, so I will opt for the Hornets here on the moneyline.
