The New Orleans Hornets (47-29) and the Miami Heat (41-36) are both going to make the playoffs but neither team is playing very well as they get together in Miami for Tuesday’s contest in NBA odds at 7:35pm EST on NBA-TV. The Hornets are 6-6 in their last 12 games while the Heat are 5-7 in their last 12. The Heat are trying to stay in fifth place in the Eastern Conference while New Orleans is in 6th place in the West, 1.5 games behind Houston for fourth place. The Hornets are coming off a 108-94 home loss to Utah on Sunday. “We got to come out with much more intensity and a lot more passion than we did,” Hornets coach Byron Scott said. “If we do that then we’ll be OK, if not we’ll be in trouble.” New Orleans is dealing with injuries as Tyson Chandler and James Posey are out. Their two stars, Chris Paul and David West have been feeling the pressure. “Right now I think they are pressing because they are trying to do too much because we aren’t getting enough from the other guys,” Scott said. “We need to get more from other people.” New Orleans has allowed more than 100 points in five of their last seven games. NBA odds makers at SBGGlobal have the Heat -4 point favorites at home in NBA odds against the Hornets with a betting total of 190. The Heat may have turned the corner after defeating Charlotte and Washington on their three-game road trip. The bench players came through in the win over the Wizards, especially Yakhouba Diawara and James Jones, who combined for 29 points. “I love to see James Jones shoot the ball that way,” said Dwyane Wade, “That’s going to be really big for us in the playoffs, especially having him and Diawara on the floor at the same time to spread it.” New Orleans has won three straight against Miami overall.
