I think this is a pretty strong play. The Hornets have struggled recently in the first halves of games and are continually playing catch up and eventually get the win more often than not. I see this being a 1-3 point game at half in either direction with NO pulling away in the second half. Washington played the Knicks and Nuggets fairly close in the 1st half recently. They are a really crappy team which is the only thing that scares me 
Good luck.
