Bet on Hornets vs. Spurs

Aldridge (36 minutes) is the only player on San Antonio who saw more than 30 minutes on the court Thursday night. The Spurs also stay at home, so this might be a fresher team on a back-to-back than normal. It is such a rarity to see San Antonio on a losing streak that it makes us uncomfortable. No way the skid hits five games tonight, right? We like the hosts to right the ship here.
