NBA Basketball Betting - San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets, (63-29 SU,
56-33-2 ATS, 44-44-3 O/U) and San Antonio
Spurs, (62-30 SU, 40-48-3 ATS, 40-50-1
O/U) are certainly sticking to the league-wide
sports betting postseason script of winning
at home in the playoffs.
After emphatically winning the first
two games of their second round online
betting series at home, the Hornets made
the trek to San Antonio for games 3 and
4 where they were promptly routed by
the Spurs before coming back home and
extracting some revenge on San Antonio
by spanking them badly in beating the
defending champions 101-79 in Game 5
on Tuesday.
Now, the Spurs are back at home, hosting
the feisty, upstart Hornets in what could
possibly be their last game of the season
as the Hornets lead this sports betting
series 3-2 and need just one more victory
to advance to the Western Conference
Finals.
"The bottom line is that the better
team wins in a seven-game series," Spurs
coach Gregg Popovich said. "I've
always said that. So whoever wins the
series it will be because they're the
better team."

New Orleans, like every other team that
has had to play a road game this postseason,
knows it will take a special effort to
beat the Spurs at home.
"That's something we're going to
talk about probably all day and before
the game tomorrow," Hornets all-star
point guard Chris Paul said. "When
you make shots and stuff like that, it
helps a lot, but we just got to find
some way somehow."

While Paul torched the Spurs in Game
1 and 2 with his jaw-dropping quickness,
it was all-star power forward David West
who lit up the Spurs in Game 5, scoring
a career-playoff high, 38 points, while
grabbing 14 rebounds , blocking five
shots and generally taking it to Spurs
superstar Tim Duncan.
"We can't relax and say, 'All right,
we'll wait to beat them when we come
back here,"' Paul said. "We
need to win tomorrow (Thursday)."
While the
Hornets are clearly in the catbird’s
seat, head coach Byron Scott said he
realizes that Game 6 will be an almost
literal, dogfight.
"We know their backs are against
the wall and they're going to come at
us with everything they got," Scott
said.

Analysis:
I’ll keep this pick
short and to the point for those NBA
bettors who aren’t getting enough
sleep because of the late Western Conference
games (like myself) that generally run
into the wee hours of the morning depending
on where you reside. The Spurs are the
unequivocal pick tonight as they will
likely rout the Hornets by at least 10
points, returning the favor to the Hornets
for their latest blowout. Take the Spurs
to cruise in this all-important Game
6 matchup tonight.
