Sheeps thinking: New orleans is playing great and want to step up because of Davis news and that Okafor is the savior and plying great and beat Houston in Houston. In the mean time Denver has sucked so bad in the last 10 road games and failed to cover something like 8 of the last 10 games.
Reality: New Orleans are depleted with pretty much all their starters out for the 2nd straight game on back to back night. They won against Houston and Okafor looked great becasue Houston basically had no one on the paint with Capela out plus Houston coach was terrible in that game. Denver has been playing poorly on the rooad but they have gotten some of their depth back and they have Jokic on the paint who is going to wipe the floor with Okafor.
-8.5 on the road for houston seems like a lot but this has blow out return all over it with New Orleans bench playing back to back as starters.
