REASON FOR PICK: New Orleans is mired in a slump; the Hornets have lost 7 of their last 9 games since they won at Golden St back on January 26th. Their problem has been their weak defensive play as they?ve allowed six of those nine opponents to score 101 points or more. And tonight?s challenge will be to slowdown the potent Golden St offense, something the Hornet?s defense doesn?t figure to do since they are in bad current form.
The Warriors are playing at home for the 15th time in their last 17 ballgames. They?ve scored 100 points or more in 12 of those 14 home games so that trend should continue tonight, especially since they?ll be facing a struggling New Orleans? defense. This is also the third meeting of the season between these two teams; the first two games had 213 and 215 points scored. Golden St?s defense allows 105 points per game on 47.7% shooting on their home floor so the Hornets should once again eclipse the 100-point mark against the Warriors tonight. This game will also have plenty of pace to it, and unless both teams are ice cold from the field, this will be a high-scoring game that gets up and Over the total

REASON FOR PICK: Play On: Philadelphia 76ers
Note: The finale of this three-game homestand finds the Grizzlies in the middle of a Denver omelet and no matter which way we flip it, it?s a recipe for disaster. Lionel Hollins? bunch is 4-13 ATS after running with the Nuggets and just 4-8-1 ATS before having to face them. The situation gets more than a little dicey when we throw some Philly cheese into the mix. The Sixers are out to avenge a 99-94 January home loss to the Grizz and they have been nothing short of sensational when seeking same-season payback this year, posting an 11-3 ATS mark. The 76ers have also been moneymakers on the road this season, covering 17 of 27 contests. Grab the points as this one has all the ingredients of an upset special.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT BOYS :toast: :0008
