The Hornets recently lost to the Jazz 88-102 on the road. Their top producers on the night were Chris Paul with 24pts, while David West added 18pts with 10 rebounds and Rasual Butler helped with 21pts. Tyson Chandler is back, after he was traded, with his teammates after he failed his physical with the Thunder. Many players were ticked off about the trade. "I'm excited to have T.C. back," said Chris Paul, the league leader with 10.7 assists per game. "I think it will give us a huge lift. Hopefully it will bring us closer together. You know, T.C. is family to us, so there won't be any animosity when he comes in here and he understands what's been the goal all along." Chandler's statistics are down - he's averaging three fewer points and four fewer rebounds than last season's 11.8 points and 11.7 boards - but coach Byron Scott attributes those decreases to nagging injuries, including a sprained left ankle.The Hornets are 13-13 SU on the road where they average 95.3 ppg and give up an average 96.5 ppg. They are 1-4 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 94.4 ppg and given up an average 101.2 ppg. The Hornets are 23-29 ATS, ATS on the road and 12-13-1 over/under on the road.
The Kings recently lost to Dallas 95-116 on the road. Their top scorers were Beno Udrih with 18pts, while Spencer Hawes and Francisco Garcia each added 17pts.
