Line good to -1
We have been dead on in this Series so far Cashing a 3% Play on New Orleans in Game 1 and then in Game 2 we had a 5% Play on Oklahoma City. Now in Game 3 we are back on New Orleans as coming off of such an easy win on Wednesday Night I feel that Oklahoma City is going to come into this game just a little too Fat n Sassy. Remember this is a very young team that is just learning how to win. As we said in Game 1 this is uncharted water for these OKC players. Let’s also not forget no one is as GOOD as their BEST game nor are they as BAD as their WORST Game. Too many people are going to remember what they saw on Wednesday and run to the Window wanting to Bet OKC in a Pick the Winner situation. Now back at Home New Orleans will bring everything they have in a must win Game 3 down 0-2. I still firmly believe OKC wins this series I just don’t see them sweeping the series. Having not played since Wednesday helps New Orleans as well giving them extra time to change the game plan while OKC will have spent the last two days reading their press clippings as what do you change when you win by 32 points. As good as OKC was this year in earning the #1 seed they were just 19-21 ATS on the road. My numbers have NEW ORLEANS Winning by 4-6 POINTS.
KEY STAT: NEW ORLEANS is 24-15 ATS after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season
KEY STAT: Playing On Underdogs (NEW ORLEANS) who are playing with 2 days rest, on Saturdays has gone 90-52 ATS in the NBA the L5 Years
TAKE NEW ORLEANS as my 4% NBA GAME OF THE WEEK
