Whoopidee whoop, here we go again. The Hornets are fresh off their big win in Portland last night, but no time to celebrate as we roll into Denver tonight to face a Nuggets team hungry for vengeance (flashback). Tip off is at 8pm Central.

The Nuggets were busy last night in Oklahoma City, needing a buzzer-beating triple by Carmelo Anthony to overcome the mighty and awesome Thunder. But despite giving up 120 points to the worst team in the history of mankind, Denver are a tough team and their 22-12 record puts them just a half game behind us in the standings.

No word on Tyson just yet. We may be without him if he gets suspended for his tussle with Przybilla last night. I’ll keep and ear out and update here.

UPDATE: Word on the Hornets Report boards is that Tyson has been suspended one game, so he’ll be unavailable tonight.

UPDATE 2: Confirmed by the T-P. Przybilla also got punished: “$7,500 for his role in the incident and assessed a Flagrant Foul Penalty One for a forearm to the chest of Chandler.”
