The Hornets will try to build on yesterday’s impressive win in Denver when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers tonight, game tipping a little after 9:00 in the p.m. We’ve already seen the Blazers once this season, beating them 87-82 at New Orleans Arena two weeks ago. They’re 5-2 and since then, 10-6 overall, and undefeated in six games at the Rose Garden.

Tyson Chandler, who missed the Denver game due to the birth of his son (kids can be so inconsiderate sometimes), was trying to catch a flight to rejoin the Hornets in Portland. No word on his status just yet.

Once again, tonight’s game isn’t on CST, so unless you’ve got NBA League Pass you’re probably outta luck. I’ll be checking in all night though via the comments, so feel free to stop by for updates and chat.
