PRO BASKETBALL-- February 1
(BetUS Line: Hornets -9, Total 190.5) - Fine, the Wizards now sit in a loss of 24 straight road games, while 17 of those losses were by 9 points. Only 6 of them included covering efforts. So now you have to excuse us if we're fervent about the possibilities of a New Orleans side that plays defense on over and above anyone in the NBA, and tolerates just 90 points a game at home. Following suffering 2 losses to the Kings and Suns on the road, Monty Williams' side may be snarling a bit.
