The Charlotte Hornets will make their annual appearance in a nationally-televised game tonight as they take on the New Orleans Pelicans in the final game of their road trip.

Obviously, the big story here is LaMelo Ball and Lonzo Ball playing against each other in the NBA for the first time. They haven’t shared a court together since they both played at Chino Hills high school in 2015, so this matchup has been a long time coming.
