The Thunder head into New Orleans tonight to take on the Hornets and Tyson Chandler. Chandler was set to become the fourth piece of the Thunder puzzle less than a month ago before being rejected by the team for failing a physical. Ironic as Chandler is healthy and will be playing tonight while the Thunder will be struggling with injuries.
Durant, Green, and Thabo all are still uncertain for tonight's game. It will be very difficult to defeat the Hornets without them, but if OKC can put together the same kind of effort they did against the Mavericks then it can be done.
Both teams are hot right now and in the midst of season high win streaks: 3 for OKC and 6 for New Orleans. Chandler will be looking to have a big game against the team that dissed him. The Thunder will be looking again to show that they can do it with Durant and Green and that they aren't missing out by passing on the trade. Krstic has really stepped up in the past couple of games and may now be ready to take on the role of center-of-the-future.
