Tread lightly on this game. If it weren't for Chandler being out and West's status doubtful (most likely he's out by the way the line is set), this line would be Hornets -6. I see no value either way in this game. Just throwing in my two cents.

This line is not set to bait in New Orleans money...
I mean...West and Chandler are supposed to be OUT...
why the hell should they be 4-5 point road favorites with 2 of their top 3 guys out...
This spread would have been -6 if they were in...
With their teams like this its fairly even...I think the line is actually set to get Minnesota money if you ask me..
 
NO didnt beat NJ the other day...NJ beat themselves...Devin Harris 1 for 11.  50% Free Throws as a team.  They just put on an embarrasing effort for a team that had a great opportunity.
 
Personally, if West and Chandz are out, i like Minny here and will jump on them, but i believe their status is questionable so until its confirmed, i would stay away

I now see something that I expected to see today...not only did the line not go from +2 to +3, but just like I thought it would...it went down to +1...thought it would stay around +2 for sure, and I am glad that it has moved the way it has...last night I told someone that this line would not jump up to +3 or +4 today...I was spot on again on that assessment...makes me feel even better about this game.

Yeah, just turn up your volume on your computer and you should hear it, unless you have an outdated computer....if that is the case I would just go get a new computer...some great deals out there, and it well worth being able to hear these noises when looking at the lines on covers.

I think N.O will win this game. Lets face it Minny is terrible.  All that aside it will be tough with out Chandler and West, but then again they spread the ball out pretty well in their last win.  So N.O with another notch on their belts after this one

You are right, N.O. could win this game tonight, I happen to think its not as likely as you do, but you are completely wrong when you say that the Timberwolves are terrible...I do not think you have watched them lately...they are 13-2 ATS in their past 15 games and are winning games now that they have their lineup set, and have some players like Foye stepping up and playing like they were drafted to play....they are completely different team and look at how they have been playing lately...

The T-Wolves are on fire. Their overall record is very misleading. Take a look at their record in the last month... they're up there with the best in the NBA. Coaching makes a huge difference, and since they made those changes, they've been a completely diff team.

I agree with you Mr. Headache - Minn wins this one

Like the Wolves in this spot tonight....The Hornets were able to get by the Nets because...well there the Nets...but they also couldn't take advantage of West and Chandler out of the game..with no low post game all the Hornets had to do was defend the perimeter and with Harrins getting hurt all it did was make defending it easier for em....I see them having a tougher time tonight with AJ in the post...if the Wolves can make there 3's cause there will be alot of opportunitys tonight...Wolves could win this game in a route...BOL either side!!

I glanced at the Timberwolves line tomorrow and I noticed that they are getting two points tomorrow at home against New Orleans...
 
Lock me up big time on this one, just like tonight on Purdue, except this time I am going to have to side with the Minnesota team.
 
Minnesota Timberwolves +2

Like this is any better insight?

HAHA - yeah, you're right - not much insight there either. I guess you'd have to be following Mr Headache's threads over the last week or two to understand why he likes this game.

Timber-cubs will win outright; Love will have a double-double:  18 points/14 rebounds.
