The set-up: The Spurs posted an epic triple OT win over the Thunder at home last Thursday, but they'd stumble in the rematch in OKC on Saturday. I think San Antonio comes in a bit complacent here facing its lowly non-conference opponent. But Charlotte comes in desperate as it looks to snap a three-game slide. The Hornets average 112.1 PPG and they allow 112.3. The Spurs average 112.3 PPG and they allow 109.5.

The pick: The Spurs though have given up an average of 134.5 points over their last two games. Additionally note that Charlotte is already 6-2 ATS this year after losing three of its last four games and 3-1 ATS after two or more consecutive road losses, while SA is already just 1-3 ATS this season as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. I'm grabbing the points.
