The Hornets (4-18) make their first of two visits to San Antonio this season following Wednesday's 120-103 home loss to Phoenix. They failed to cover the 1-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (223) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Backup guard Greivis Vasquez had career highs with 20 points and 12 assists -- the first Hornet reserve with 20 points and 10 assists in a game -- but New Orleans' highest-scoring game of the season wasn't enough as it yielded its most points since a 121-89 road loss to Dallas on April 13.

San Antonio looks to improve its league-best home record Thursday night when it meets the Western Conference-worst New Orleans Hornets.

Back from a 1-2 trip, the Spurs (14-9) erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit and opened their three-game homestand Wednesday with a 99-91 victory over Houston.They covered the 5.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (190) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.

The Spurs are 11-1 at home, and they'll try to continue their strong play there before kicking off a season-high nine-game trip following Saturday's game against NBA-leading Oklahoma City.

San Antonio, 3-8 on the road, posted a 104-102 victory in New Orleans on Jan. 23 for its eighth win in 10 meetings with the Hornets.

Tim Duncan finished with a season-high 28 points in that contest, including a 13-foot game-winning shot over Emeka Okafor with 1.4 seconds left.
