MINN has already faced the following in their 18 games: DEN twice, PHOE twice, and GST. That's five games where they gave up an average of 127.6 pts a game. This has severely inflated their PA average. In their other 13 games, their PA average is only 97.6 a game. In those same 13 games MINN averaged 85.5 pts for a combined total of 183.
The HORNETS have broken 100 points 8 times in 18 games. Of those, 2 were OT, 1 vs NY, 1 vs PHOE, and two were against the hapless CLIPPERS. Again, their numbers are misleading if you look at the averages. Simply put, N.O. has broken the 100 barrier twice in reality, for an average of 11% of the time. I'm doubting this game goes OT, so I can't see it getting near to 200.... probably closer to 175.
Chris Paul may return tonight for the HORNETS, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for the Under. He's going to be gimpy, and cautious, and bringing him back vs a weak team, he can get in some game time w/o risking a loss. This should affect the HORNETS flow some as they adjust themselves back to CP3.

I always appreciate good analysis and write-ups. Thanks. Its too often we see cappers just throwing up their one word picks in these threads. That doesn't really do anyone any good.
I'm taking the under with you. Strong UNDER trends in this one. Under is 10-1 in MIN last 11 vs. NBA Southwest. MIN UNDER 12-5-1 overall this year. NO tends to go under at home 17-6 last 23. Last meeting 94-93.
I think NO wins by 10, so I cant pull the trigger on them.

Thanks By Design.... I also knew the trends, that's what got me looking at the stats. I remembered a couple of those big blowouts, but I KNEW MINN had a lot of low scoring games.
