Which of these stats would you look at specifically? Using Charlotte as an example, they are last in Offensive Efficiency and 2nd to last in Defensive Efficiency. New Orleans, on the other hand, is 27th in OE while ranked 20th in DE. What do the numbers (New Orleans OE = 96.8, DE = 102.8) mean relative to the projected total for the game?
And no I'm not working for the books - I'm not sure that they're too concerned that I just upped my unit size from $10 to $20 a couple of weeks ago :)
