KING CREOLE
3*** UTAH JAZZ minus the points vs New Orleans Hornets
The Hornets played last night IN Los Angeles.... and took the Lakers right down to the wire, losing in OVERTIME 115-111. They didn't get the win, but the DID get the ATS cash. Now, they take to the road in one of the NBA's least profitable situations. Playing on the ROAD with NO rest against the Utah Jazz. Chris Paul played 45 minutes in last night's game... so he might be a little sore in tonight's game. Let's not forget that Utah has the ultimate motivation going for them tonight. Their owner (Larry Miller) passed away last night as he lost his battle with diabetes.
GREAT situation number ONE:
2-16-3 ATS last 3 years: All NBA Western Conference teams playing on the road with NO REST versus the UTAH JAZZ (Hornets). These teams are a PERFECT 0-10-2 ATS if the Utah Jazz are playing off a SU win. And since Utah just beat Boston at home (as a dog) a couple of days ago, ALL SYSTEMS are GO to "fade" the Hornets tonight.
GREAT situation number TWO:
12-24 ATS last 3 years: All NBA underdogs who played the previous night on the ROAD versus the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.... that lost the game STRAIGHT UP but got the ATS win in the process (New Orleans). These teams are 5-16 ATS versus any opponent off a SU win (like the JAZZ are).... and 0-6 ATS if that opponent is of a DOG win (like the JAZZ). If these doggies are playing with NO REST, we also note that they are 1-8 ATS.
