New Orleans Hornets @ San Antonio Spurs (-6.5):
After two forgettable performances in Games 1 and 2, Tim Duncan will be back. Timmy is too good to fail three games in a row, and as much as I think that the Hornets will pull this series out in 5 or 6, I still think the Spurs have a very good shot of taking this game by double digits. San Antonio is tough at home, and they’ll show the world that they’re not ready to give up just yet. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli need to have better games, and that will be much easier with Tim Duncan dominating like he can. My prediction is that foul trouble hurts the Hornets in this one.
