Event: NBA Basketball, New Orleans Hornets at Oklahoma City Thunder Online betting:Wednesday, March 10th, 20:00 EST The month of March brings great delight to sporting fans around the country, as spring training begins, March Madness takes centre stage, and the NHL and NBA pass their trade deadlines and head for the playoffs. As the college game begins to sort itself out, the NBA has some big match ups every day. In the Midwest Wednesday, two Western conference teams take the court as they fight for the final playoff spots. The Oklahoma City Thunder (38-24) host the New Orleans Hornets (32-32) in a battle of two teams going in opposite directions. The Thunder have had a couple days to rest after a short and successful road trip that saw them take down the Kings and Clippers, and continue their strong play. Against Sacramento, Kevin Durant lead the team with 27 points and 8 rebounds. Russell Westbrook, meanwhile, led the team in the fourth quarter after leaving the game in the third with an elbow to the head. Westbrook required six stitches, and had trouble seeing, but returned in the fourth to score 13 of his 21 points. Since losing three in a row in January, the Thunder have clicked in every face of their game, winning 14 of 17, and moving them up to 6th place in the Western Conference. They are 7 games behind the first place Lakers, and only two games out of the fifth seed. New Orleans meanwhile, broke a four game losing streak on Monday with a 135-131 win over Golden State. The Hornets are 4 and half games out of eighth place with time running out. Their schedule doesn’t get any easier with Denver and Phoenix on the horizon, and so the team needs to start putting together wins in a hurry to save their season. Another strong performance by rookie Darren Collison would go a long way to putting together a winning streak. Collison had 16 points and 20 assists in the victory over the warriors, as the team looks for players to step up in Chris Paul’s continued absence due to injury. Marcus Thornton and David West each scored 28 for the Hornets, who had six players score in double figures. The offensive surge will be tough to continue against the Thunder, who average 96.5 points allowed per game, third lowest in the conference. After a positive performance, though, the Hornets will try to carry their recent performance Pick: The Hornets are overmatched in this contest, but look for them to come out strong after a very encouraging and hard fought victory against Golden State Monday. They are riding a bit of momentum, and need to catch Oklahoma City on an off night. Though the Thunder have played strong for weeks now, they are due for a letdown. Look for the Hornets to keep it close, and make a run for an upset late in the game. Betting management is key this time of year with some many events going on, and help is readily available. Bet on March Madness as it only comes once a year, and enjoy the all the sports that the month of March has to offer. Related picks:
