    Notes
    The Cavs will be without starting power forward Carlos Boozer, who is still nursing a sprained right ankle. The team will also be without reserve guard Ira Newble, who is serving a 1 game suspension for conduct detrimental to team. Ricky Davis will probably come off the pine in this game, just my guess as Paul Silas allowed him to make the trip to New Orleans after missing a practice.

    Keys To The Game

    Cleveland - Contain Baron Davis, double team, and get the ball out of his hands. Don't allow David Wesley to sit out there and take open 3 point shots. Feed the ball to Ilgauskas all night, he must be the focal point of the offense tonight as the Cavs have a lot of turmoil going on and are short handed.

    New Orleans - Double Ilgauskas and make him make the correct pass out of the double team. I would zone it up and force them Cavs to take jump shots. Attack the basket, simple as that, without Carlos Boozer the Cavs front line has been very thin, take advantage of it.

    The King's Take

    This game could be ugly, for the Cavs that is. How will the Cavs react after all this mess that has been going on this week? How many minutes will Ricky Davis play? How do you stop Baron Davis, who right now is the early season favorite to win the MVP. I have no idea who Silas will start in this one, so this was just by best guess.

    Too many questions for the Cavs, so Hornets in a blowout.
