Sportsbook Website – Hornets Fast Start is Long Gone. Remember when the New Orleans Hornets won their first eight games both straight up and against the odds at the sportsbook website? Those days are long gone as the Hornets have fallen flat on their face losing eight of their last eleven games. The Hornets were disgraced on Sunday, losing 88-70 against the NBA odds at the online sportsbook to Philadelphia.
Pathetic Scoring
The Hornets have simply been awful on offense lately. In the first half against Philadelphia they shot just 14 percent from the floor. A high school team could shoot it better than that. The Hornets scored just 23 points in the first half and only 10 in the second quarter. Chris Paul had 25 points and he was about the only player that showed up. The Hornets have not scored 100 points in a game since November 19th. That is a stretch of 12 games.
Hornets Gone from New Orleans?
The Hornets losing started about the same time that the NBA had to take over the team. There are reports out that New Orleans is going to end up moving, perhaps to Seattle. The players seem to be paying attention to all of the talk as they can’t do anything right. New Orleans has lost six of their last eight games overall and it is getting ugly.
Under the Total
You may want to go against the Hornets in future games and also take their games under the total. New Orleans has been going under the total on a regular basis, especially on the road. 11 of their last 12 games on the road have gone under the total at the online sportsbook. With their current lack of offense it might not be a bad idea to go against the Hornets and parlay that with their games going under.
Upcoming Schedule
The Hornets are very unlikely to turn things around on Monday as they travel to Miami. They should get a win on Wednesday as they host the rotten Sacramento Kings. A home game on Friday against the Jazz won’t be easy and then New Orleans goes on the road where they usually struggle. Right now there is not much to like about New Orleans so you want to take extreme caution about betting the Hornets right now against the NBA odds at the sportsbook website.
