Devin Harris leads the 19-22 Nets into New Orleans Arena tonight. Tip off is at about 7pm Central.
The Nets have lost three straight, their most recent defeat coming at the hands of the Celtics on Saturday. Lawrence Frank benched both Harris and Vince Carter for the second half of that game, but apparently they’re all friends again now. Group hug.
The Hornets are banged up bad. West (back) and Chandler (ankle) will most likely sit this one out, and Hilton Armstrong (knee) is doubtful. There’s talk of maybe going small or possibly starting Julian Wright. Should be an interesting night.
One more thing: the Nets are 10-8 on the road this season. Weird.
