This is a big game with the Nets and Hornets tied for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Luckily for the Nets, this game will be played on the road, so Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving should be available. The Nets lost both of the last two games since Durant returned from injury, but they were both narrow losses to great defensive teams in the Heat and Celtics. The same can’t be said for the Hornets, who have also played at the third-fastest pace in the league. Look for the Nets to right the ship in what should be a high-scoring affair.
