Key Matchup vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Kemba Walker vs. George Hill

A potential season-high-tying fifth-straight win is on the line for the Charlotte Hornets as they wrap up their two-game homestand tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Perhaps the biggest individual milestone of Kemba Walker’s NBA career is on the verge of being achieved as he’s just 20 points away from breaking Dell Curry’s franchise career scoring record (9,839 points). Walker has been red hot for the Hornets lately, posting averages of 31.3 points, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals during the team’s current four-game winning streak.

On defense, Walker will be in charge of stopping veteran George Hill, who was acquired by the Cavaliers in a deadline-day deal with Sacramento last month.
