What would you do?

At the start of the NO/SA series I placed a 2 UNIT wager on Hornets to win the series and got +120. Today I really like the Hornets to win and cover but based on how the 2nd round has gone so far I really don't know what to do. Should I just keep my bet, hedge by putting 2 UNITS on the Spurs ML to guarantee I make a little, or should I go with my gut and put more on NO tonight? What would you do if you were in my shoes???

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

like 1.12u on San Antonio ML +178 to win 2u

or i'd do... 1.55u to win 1.5u, San Antonio +4.5 -103 (in this case you could possibly win 3.5 units if N.O wins by 1-4)

right on the money pv I would put a bit on the spurs plus the points that way have a chance to hit more if they cover the spread

Thanks for the advice guys but unfortunately I got too caught up today to do anything, so ended up losing 200 on the series. These playoffs have definitely gotten ugly. Congrats to all Spurs backers!
