Surprised the Hornets only opened at -2

[No coincidences]

Considering the way New Orleans has been playing lately (5-3 in their last 8), Gordon's health/effectiveness and how beat up the T'Wolves are, I was thinking this would be at least -3.5. Is this just a reflection of their bad overall record? Or should we balk at the idea of backing NOLA tonight?

Wolves have played better without Love.

Wolves have played better without Love.

Yes and no. They haven't looked very good without him in the three most recent games. Is Barrea playing? And is Adelman back?

2 straight home game wins against Spurs and Rockets and now against the banged-up Wolves? Just 2 points? Looks like a trap to me. Staying away from this one still plenty of good games left on the board.
