Why are the Hornets gettin' 4.5?

[SBR Lou]

Key injury or something I'm missing out on? After getting blanked by the Lakers got to think Paul and co. won't no-show on Christmas.

[fearless]

Accuscore has Orlando winning by an average of about 7 points and winning about 73% of the time. I think -4.5 is a low spread.

[fearless]

From accuscore (via espn.com):

New Orleans Hornets +4.5 37.7% Orlando Magic -4.5 62.3%
OVR 191.5 54.6% UND 191.5 45.3%
New Orleans Hornets +170 26.5% Orlando Magic -180 73.4%
Avg. score: Magic 100.7 - NO 93.3

Peja is questionable and so is Daniels.

maybe it's just a bad quarter for them. every team has some. hoping orlando can keep this up though. i wouldn't mind no sweat games two days in a row.

On the Magic -4 pretty big.

[ClockCleaner]

Are you guys blind. Don't yall even realise that this is'nt the same team as last year. They were much deeper last year with Janero Pargo, Bonzi Wells and Bobbi Jacskon coming off the bench. Losing Janero Pargo really hurt because he was a big sprk off the bench and they did'nt see much dropoff when Chris paul was off the court.

[Tsoprano]

Magic more than doubling the Hornets score.

Agreed x 10. Never bet the Hornet this year when they're playing a good team. It's not like this is the first or even third time they've played like this this year. Pathetic. The effort isn't there either is what is bad.

[pavyracer]

61-31. Think they cover +4.5?

[Poker_Beast]

Keep it up Orlando - biggest bet of the day!!

[brock]

I played Orl -5 Then played NO -5 for the second half.

[crisp]

why were the hornets getting +24.5 at halftime?

[l7ustin]

80 to 55. Sharps were on Orlando

[pavyracer]

Hornets need to finish the game on a 20-0 run to cover.

Crazy I think you have answered your own question now
