Friday Night Play: Hornets +5

[t-wizzle]

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.

I heard Gordon might not be playing, just a heads up

^Eric Gordon is out today, and for the next 2-3 weeks.. as is Ariza.. I threw Denver in a 5 Point Teaser to win str8 up personally

[Bbobbi]

Hey I think Eric Gordon is actually out any thoughts on the play still?

[t-wizzle]

That's ok about Gordon and Ariza. The other guys will step up. Maybe Xavier Henry will give them a boost.

IDK Denver is so deep and could easily tear NO apart without those guys. I'm on Denver giving the points

[PR9]

i hear nene will be announced if hes in or out close to game time. That changes things for me and tilts the scales to the home team taking the pts (if he is confirmed out)

[t-wizzle]

Got a bad number. Oh well.

[Speedy88]

I loved NO +5 last night when I thought Gordon was playing and Nene wasn't. Now that Gordon is out and Nene is in, it is a no play.

[NickMill]

Come on guys. Nene is in. Gordon and Ariza is out. You cant expect winning money if you dont bet Denver. I booked it at -5

[HOT WINGS]

He's out indefinitely still right? I kind of liked the Hornets at first, but not so sure anymore. GL either way.

[NickMill]

Gordon is out 2-3 weeks. Ariza a few games!

[takzilla]

Xavier Henry, really? Chris Paul and David West don't matter, really? Jarret Jack and Carl Landry are not a significant drop off, REALLY?

[ParlayJunkie]

Underdog NBA Friday. All in.

Am i missing something here? David West wasn't even around for the playoffs last year. And yea Jarrett Jack is playing pretty damn well.

[t-wizzle]

Hornets are probably a loser but i will ride it out and see what happens.
