NBA Picks: There is some question if Hornets' point guard Chris Paul will be able to keep up with two-time MVP Steve Nash who has been playing lights out basketball since the opening bell two weeks ago. Paul twisted his left ankle shortly before halftime Monday but was able to return in the third quarter to lead New Orleans to a 112-84 win over the Clippers. He had 24 points and 10 assists despite sitting out the fourth period. How Paul's ankle will be today is the big question. We recommend the Suns as the best value bet giving -6 1/2.
