504 OKL -3.5 vs 503 NOH
New Orleans is starting to hit a wall now after their great start to the season. They have lost three out of their last four games straight up, with those losses coming against Utah, San Antonio, and the LA Clippers. The Hornets have also failed to cover in six out of their last seven games, with three point spread losses to the best teams they have played in Dallas, San Antonio, and Utah. New Orleans is also only 5-3 straight up on the road this season.
Both teams will be playing their third game in four days tonight, but the Thunder have a better situation coming into this game. They will be motivated coming off of a close 1 point loss last night against Houston when Kevin Duran missed a shot at the buzzer. New Orleans suffered a very tough loss to San Antonio last night after having a big halftime lead. I feel that it will be very hard to bounce back from that tough loss in a game that they really had circled, especially after leading by so much. They also have to travel the very next day after coming off of a long 4 game road trip. Oklahoma City has played two lesser quality opponents in the last few days and get to play this game at home. The Thunder match up well with Chris Paul and David West of the Hornets with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook
