Hornets still on upgrade
There are a number of hot favourites for the NBA division titles but the Southwest is more wide open and New Orleans are worth a wager here.
As the official NBA website states: The Hornets are no longer a team on the rise, they are a team that has risen.
Summer signing James Posey will add experience and leadership to a young side that is growing in stature along with superstar point guard Chris Paul.
