Our short-handed Hornets take on the Spurs in New Orleans this evening. Tyson and Peja are still out, while James Posey has been sent to the corner to think about what he did.
The 48-24 Spurs have won three straight and are in sole possession of the second seed in the West. They beat the Clippers on Friday. All Pop’s men appear to be healthy and available, apart from Fabricio Oberto, who’s out with an irregular heartbeat.
We’ve already played the Spurs twice this season, winning in New Orleans and losing in San Antonio.
Game tips a little after 7 p.m. Central. You can watch it live online via ESPN 360. Other games to keep an eye on today (all times Central): Mavs at Cavs (noon), Suns at Kings (8:00). Check the full standings here.
