Orlando will be playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back on the road traveling from Houston last night, so they might be a little fatigued. I think I read Claxton was questionable for this game, and if he doesn't play that will hurt the Hornets pretty badly. New Orleans has a shot to be 3-1, but Orlando does have some talent, so we'll see what happens.
