The set-up: This one sets up great from a situational stand point. Charlotte played from behind all night in its heart-breaking 113-112 home loss to Milwaukee. Kemba Walker scored 41 points for the Hornets in that one but it still wasn't enough. And with a game at Miami tomorrow night, the Hornets are also get caught "looking ahead" in my opinion as well. Orlando fought tooth and nail all night against the Heat in its opener and managed to pull away for the hard-fought 104-101 victory in the end. But with a game tomorrow night at Philly, I think the Magic also get caught looking ahead here as well.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Charlotte has seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last nine after allowing 112 points or more in its previous outing. This number is a little high, play the "under."
