Matchup to Watch
Jabari Parker vs. Marvin Williams or Nic Batum: The Hornets didn’t match up well with the Bucks’ length last time they played.
Observations
▪ The Hornets get back center Al Jefferson Friday. He had knee surgery six weeks ago to repair a torn meniscus.
▪ New Hornet Courtney Lee missed most of practice Thursday while completing his physical. So his debut with his new team will likely be delayed until Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets.
Tap-ins
▪ This is the first of five consecutive road games to end the month of February for the Hornets. The CIAA tournament takes over Time Warner Cable Arena.
▪ Hornets backup center Spencer Hawes is out with a lower back strain.
