New Orleans Hornets at Dallas Mavericks (Hornets lead 2-0)
Friday, 8:05 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Mavericks - 5 , Total 195

Chris Paul has led the New Orleans Hornets to two dominating wins over the Dallas Mavericks with the series now moving to Dallas for games three and four. MVP candidate Paul is averaging 33.5 points per game and also dishing out 13.5 assists per game. He is the first player in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 10 assists in his first two playoff games. "It's been too easy," Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki said, "We've got to be a little more proactive on him and see if we can get the ball out of his hands some. If not, just move up on him and make it a little harder on him. We'll see how that works." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Mavericks at Home.

Chris Paul doesn’t believe Dallas can do anything to stop him. "There's only so many different things you can do in basketball," he said. "Whatever they're doing, we've adjusted to it. We've had 82 regular-season games to see what different teams try and that's what it's all about, making adjustments."

The good news for Dallas is that they are a very good home team and New Orleans has not won in Dallas since 1998. The Mavericks were 34-7 at home this season. "This is a totally different animal that we're facing, totally different atmosphere and a whole lot more at stake," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "So right now, as far as we're concerned, it's 0-0 as far as playing them in their arena."
