San Antonio (+4') for 3 Units
Spurs/Hornets 8:05: We realize that NBA Second Round home teams have completely dominated; however, now the pressure mounts with Game 7 and that unusual situation for the Hornets plus the additional 2' points gives us value with San Antonio. The Hornets have been completely dominant all season off road losses of
10+ points - winning by an average margin of close to 10 ppg. But that resilient button can be pushed only so often before it wears out, and we're looking for that scenario to unfold tonight against a smart and experienced Spurs team. We'll look for the incumbent champs to show that experience does pay dividends this time of year,
especially with extended rest in which San Antonio stands 20-9 ATS in their last 29 on 3+ days rest. And with the Spurs at a terrific 17-6 ATS when tied in a playoff series, we'll grab the points.
Spurs Over (183) for 2 Units
Spurs/Hornets 8:05: This series has maintained a tight six point range in its last three meetings in New Orleans from 180 to 186. And we realize the magnitude of importance for defense that both Popovich and Scott preach. However, our concern is the closeness we project this game tonight; moreover, we believe that the tight game will be accompanied by driving to the basket fouls, which will add points without time ticking off the
clock. And New Orleans has had little trouble scoring on this floor throughout the playoffs; tonight, we'll look for San Antonio to match that scoring as this one goes - "over".
