The Charlotte Hornets (5-5) play Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks (5-4) tonight in the third game of a four-game road trip. We're not quite sure how good the Knicks are this season, but chances are they're overachieving a bit right now. Assuming the Hornets can keep Zinger in check, they have a good shot at coming away with a win.
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 Nick Denning's preview here and tonight's projected starters below:
| Hornets | Position | Knicks |
| Kemba Walker | PG | Jarrett Jack |
| Jeremy Lamb | SG | Courtney Lee |
| Dwayne Bacon | SF | Tim Hardaway Jr. |
| Marvin Williams | PF | Kristaps Porzingis |
| Dwight Howard | C | Enes Kanter |
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Nicolas Batum, and Julyan Stone are out for the Hornets tonight. Batum's inching toward a return--expect to see him back in the next week or two--but we still don't quite know what's going on with MKG. For the Knicks, Ron Baker and Joakim Noah are out.
Tip off is at 7:30 p.m. EST. Be sure to chat it up below!
