First segababa of the season, as the Hornets roll into NYC to take on the Knicks.

The Knicks are 0-3 on the season, but they played their first two games on the road, and their last two have gone to overtime. Nate Robinson sprained his ankle Saturday against the Sixers and is expected to miss two weeks. Everyone else is healthy for the Knicks.

No word on the Hornets injury situation just yet. I assume Ike Diogu is still out.

Game tips at 6:30 p.m. Central. Only way you can catch this one on TV is via League Pass. Failing that, check Gerry V and Sean Kelley calling it on 106.7 FM.

Oh, and don’t forget that other game tonight.
