Y'all, the Charlotte Hornets play the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.
Earlier in the season I'd have touted this as a must-watch game of the utmost importance but at this point in the season a win won't do any good for the Hornets aside from keeping the players and coaching staff positive.
I mean, expect the Hornets to play with the intent of winning but temper your expectations accordingly.
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.
Here are today's projected starters:
| Hornets | Position | Cavs |
| Kemba Walker | PG | George Hill |
| Nicolas Batum | SG | Rodney Hood |
| Michael Kidd-Gilchrist | SF | LeBron James |
| Marvin Williams | PF | Jeff Green |
| Dwight Howard | C | Tristan Thompson |
MKG came down with a case of food poisoning but is expected to be available tonight. Batum rejoins the team but is on a minutes restriction. The usual group of Michael Carter-Williams and Cody Zeller are out. For the Cavs, Kevin Love, Kyle Korver, and Cedi Osman are out.
Tip-off's at 7:00 p.m. EST.
