Finally, a battle for the ages. Tonight, the New Orleans Hornets arrive to play the Portland Trail Blazers (7:10 tipoff). The Hornets are the third-worst team in the league, so this is a night where, even if you advocate tanking, you may want a win so the the Nets can't gain ground on them. Can we all just root for a Blazer win tonight?

Injury Report: Raymond Felton is back tonight. LaMarcus Aldridge is having some hip trouble, but his MRI was negative and he's probable tonight. However, Nolan Smith will miss the game due to a left ear infection, according to CSNNW's Chris Haynes. For the Hornets, former Blazer Jarrett Jack is sitting tonight due to a sprained right ankle.
