Gambling911.com's free NBA pick for Monday March 9, 2009 was on Houston at +4 at SBG Global
Houston, using the money line in all games the second half of the season, is 40-14 the last two seasons. Here, we would suggest a little insurance with the +4 line.
.... The New Orleans Hornets are looking to extend their winning streak to eight games as the face the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Chris Paul had 21 points, 13 assists and six steals in Saturday's 108-90 win over Oklahoma City on Saturday night. Julian Wright added a career high-tying 20 points. "Hopefully he just builds off the energy he brought tonight," Paul said about Wright. "He brings a different dimension to our team. When Peja and those guys are running the break, we're running for jump shots. When Ju-Ju's running, we're running for lobs and dunks, and I think the crowd feeds off it and so does out team."
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Hornets on the Road.
The Hornets have defeated the Hawks in four of their last five meetings. Paul has averaged 22.8 points and 11.6 assists in his career against the Hawks.
The Hawks are trying to hold on to fourth place in the Eastern Conference but they have lost seven of their last eleven games. Atlanta is coming off a big win over Detroit though on Saturday as Josh Smith had 19 points and 12 rebounds in the 87-83 win "He was huge, and that's how he's got to play," head coach Mike Woodson said, "He's got to play at the level every night the rest of the way through this. And he's capable of doing it. He's got to have support from everybody around him and everybody's just got to play as a team the rest of the way."
