Fortunately the Hornets play the Chicago Bulls in Charlotte on Mar. 13, but this will still be a tough game to win. Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose might not be back by this time; however, Chicago's bench has started to seriously impress in the last week.

The Los Angeles Clippers may not look like "Lob City" anymore, but you can't deny their championship potential. Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan are playing amazing basketball with Blake Griffin sidelined, and the Hornets would be lucky to win this game in California.

This will be an intriguing matchup between teams fighting for playoff positioning. The Hornets want to just make the playoffs, but the Wizards would love to enter postseason play with a bit more confidence.

2. Apr. 3 vs. Indiana Pacers

When the Hornets face the Indiana Pacers, there will be playoff hopes on the line for both teams. Paul George could be back by this point. but I would advise him to shut it down if I were his mentor. Can the Hornets grab that last playoff spot? This game could determine that.
