The Hornets have been idle since Friday and could start to finally make a move after getting past the Knicks in their last game. The Hornets have been a huge disappointment, but this matchup sets up well for them.

Not only have the Hornets been idle for the last four days being home the whole time, but Boston is coming off back-to-back games against the Wizards this past Sunday and Monday, the latter being a double-overtime game.

Lance Stephenson has started to play better for Charlotte. Al Jefferson should have another big scoring game in the paint against Boston's weak post players and defensive whiz Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is expected to play for the first time in 13 games after being out with a foot injury.
