Time for a big game, with playoff implications. Tonight, the 43-31 Portland Trail Blazers hope for a Big Easy win over the 42-32 New Orleans Hornets (Media notes). Portland needs this win to avoid losing the season series (and tiebreaker!), and a short-handed Nawlins team wants to move up the rankings despite the loss of David West
Injury report: The aforementioned loss of West is foremost on the Hornets' minds, he's done for the year. For the Blazers, nothing new to report. Batum and Roy are currently expected to play.
Tip-off: 5:10pm (Last early game of the season!)
