Ah yes, nothing like a showdown between two teams riding four-game losing streaks and both missing their star player.
The Hornets will be sans Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler again, while Chris Bosh is out injured for the visiting Raptors. Toronto’s Jose Calderon might also miss this one with some kind of injury to some part of his body.
The Raps are coming off a loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. They’re 19-32 on the season, 10-17 on the road, and 0-51 when scoring under 150 points.
Ryan Bowen is starting tonight. Yay.
