Game On: Heat @ Hornets

Published: October 13, 2010

With Lebron taking an unnecessary night off, Dwayne Wade hurt, and David West sitting this one out as well, this game lacks the excitement that was anticipated when fans first saw it on the schedule. Expect nothing more than a few minutes from Bosh. The Hornets will be looking to find some player combinations that will work off the bench, and regain some confidence following their discouraging loss to Orlando.

Injuries

Hornets- David West (wrist)

Heat- LeBron James (muscle cramp), Dwyane Wade (hamstring), Carlos Arroyo (groin), Jamaal Magloire (knee) and Eddie House (shoulder).

Starting lineups

Hornets: PG Chris Paul, SG Marco Belinelli, SF Trevor Ariza, PF Jason Smith , C Emeka Okafor

Heat: PG Mario Chalmers, SG James Jones, SF Mike Miller , PF Chris Bosh, C Joel Anthony.

Pregame notes from the Arena
