There’s no sense burying the lead: the Hornets just faced a rough stretch in their schedule and may have been lucky to only lose four straight games. Thankfully, a win over the Knicks in their most recent game may have reversed the downward trend.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the Hornets are out of the woods yet. Not only are they still dealing with injuries that may keep a few key players out of the game tonight, they also face the Memphis Grizzlies, a team that got the better of the Hornets in their matchup a week ago.
The injury report may be the story of the game, as it’s going to be damaging to both teams.
