SBG Global Opening Line: Spurs - 6.5, Total 183

The San Antonio Spurs face what is probably a must win game on Thursday against the New Orleans Hornets. The Spurs were dominated in the first two games at New Orleans and now the series goes to San Antonio. "They say you're supposed to win all your home games. The series doesn't start until the home team loses," New Orleans’ Chris Paul said, "We understand their backs are against the wall right now but we've got to go in there and understand we really need to steal a game." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Spurs at Home.

The Hornets have shown they can beat the defending NBA Champs and now they will try and take a game in San Antonio. The Spurs must take care of the ball better and get Tim Duncan more involved if they are to turn things around. "It sounds, like, easy, but we just have to play better," Tony Parker said. "They just outplayed us the first two games and now we're playing at home and we have to make more shots and play better defense.” The Spurs will need to play smarter and show that they are hungry to defend their title. So far in this series that has not happened.
