The New Orleans Hornets are waiting for the San Antonio Spurs in their second consecutive home game after breaking Cleveland on Monday night by means of the leadership of Chris Paul, one of the most effective backcourt players in the league. Their defensive capability is apparent, trying to stop their opponent from penetrating into their lane because they do have a weakness in the paint if they let players in. On the other side of the court, the Spurs are leaving home after yesterday’s glorious victory against Minnesota. San Antonio are the best team to execute efficient team defense when required. Tonight, a similar scenario can take place, so both teams will probably take serious measures to avoid concededing points. A low scoring game, the pick is Under 180 for 4 Units.

The Houston Rockets are turning their route to Golden State for an interesting match with the Warriors, having lost to Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night with an ordinary Kobe Bryant in Lakers squad.

Missing Tracy McGrady means much for this team, and they seem to spend these days with the least damage. However, the city they are traveling to is the home of superb offensive basketball last shown two nights ago against a struggling Sacramento Kings with 126 points in the whole game. Golden State knows when to press the gas pedal, and they are almost unstoppable at home. They are averaging 100+ points and they are eager for a win to gain a high phase in the division after Lakers’ loss last night. The Warriors are going to try their best to win this match. Golden State –4.5 is the pick for 3 Units.
