The New Orleans Hornets have never looked as good as they have at this moment. With a playoff run on the march, they have done a great service to themselves with a 8-2 run and are into a 7 game winning streak.

All this good form has been owed to the return of Tyson Chandler back into the team after a failed trade to OKC Thunder. Chris Paul has been also in crazy form during this time, and has helped them close in on the Spurs, who are just 1 game behind the Texas team.

Atlanta Hawks have been struggling offlate, and lost by 7 of their last 11 games, which has seen them vulnerable in the 4th spot in the East at the moment with Miami just 1.5 games behind them.

Josh Smith has led the team very well recently, but they have failed to put up the results that has seen them build up this good form earlier on in the season. While Atlanta have been formidable at home, this game looks doubtful as they have failed to gain any momentum in their recent outings.

Hornets are stong all over the place, and if Stojakovic returns tonight, expect a 3-point bonanza from the Hornets.
