New Orleans is struggling after a good start but I don't like Denver on the road in this spot. Nuggets have been impressive but that's partly because of their dominance at home. Look for big performances from Jarrett Jack and Eric Gordon tonight. Carl Landry is another under the radar guy who can knock down a mid range shot and score in the post.
The Hornets are nothing special but they aren't missing much with the loss of Paul and West because Jack and Landry have stepped in and played well in their places. On top of that they have a pretty legit scoring threat in Eric Gordon so overall I think New Orleans is pretty underrated and will have value this year.
Hornets +5 -105 (3x); ML +190 (1x)
I may add to this play.
