• The line for the game is Charlotte by 3 points.

• Davis led the comeback effort on Friday and finished with 41 points on 15-of-23 shooting, nine rebounds and four blocks in the loss. “He played well and shot the ball well,” Gentry told reporters of Davis. “He plays well most nights, though. That’s not anything new, but just from a team standpoint we need to do better. And as a coach I have to do a better job making sure that they come ready to play.” Davis is going after his first league MVP award and is averaging 27.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.7 blocks.

• Charlotte had a plan to beat the Jazz on Friday, it just didn’t quite work out. “The biggest concern going into the game was the paint,” Hornets coach James Borrego told reporters. “They’re a very good paint team. They were not shooting the 3-ball as well. This is not a team that was thriving at the 3-point line and they got 30 points from Jae Crowder and Kyle Korver at the 3-point line. We won the paint by 23 points, 70-46. Most nights that’s in our favor. Most nights you win that game. It’s just the 3-point line. They made 18. We made nine.” Walker went 1-of-6 from beyond the arc in the loss and is 4-of-18 over the last three contests.

• New Orleans took the last four meetings, though all four were decided by five or fewer points.
