The Charlotte Hornets (5-3) start a four-game road trip with a game against the San Antonio Spurs (4-4) in Texas tonight. The Spurs aren't doing very well this season, but it would be foolish to underestimate them.
As usual, you can watch tonight's game live on Fox Sports Southeast or League Pass and listen live with WFNZ 610 AM or WFNZ 102.5 FM.
Check out Hunter Kuffel's preview of tonight's game here and tonight's projected starters below:
| Hornets | Position | Spurs |
| Kemba Walker | PG | Dejounte Murray |
| Jeremy Lamb | SG | Danny Green |
| Dwayne Bacon | SF | Rudy Gay |
| Marvin Williams | PF | LaMarcus Aldridge |
| Dwight Howard | C | Pau Gasol |
So, some not-so-good news tonight. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is out as he tends to a personal matter. He'll join Nicolas Batum and Julyan Stone on the inactive list. For the Spurs, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, and Joffrey Lauvergne are out and Tony Parker is questionable.
Tip off is at 8:30 p.m. EST. Be sure to chat it up below!
