Final stop on the road trip for the Hornets tonight, as they take on the Kings in Sacramento. Game tips a little after 9 p.m. Central.

Big news for the Hornets is the potential return of Tyson Chandler for this one. He done twittered a few hours ago that he will play tonight, but he’ll probably still be a game time decision, having been out of action since January 19.

Having lost seven of eight, the Kings are now owners of the NBA’s worst record at 12-45. They’re 8-18 at home this season. They were busy at the trade deadline last week but haven’t ended up much better off after all the moves, at least in the short term.
