Game 27: Raptors at Hornets

The road swing continues as the Raptors hope to bounce back after a disappointing showing in Indiana. Tonight we are in Charlotte where the Raptor have had their troubles before.

• Charlotte will be without their starting center Al Jefferson as he is serving a 5-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy
• Though DeMarre Carroll and Jonas Valanciunas traveled with the team, it's highly unlikely that either one goes tonight. Bismack Biyombo will face off against his old team and be matched up with another up and coming center in the league Cody "Big Handsome" Zeller.
• The Raptors also get to see a familiar face in Tyler Hansbrough who signed with his hometown Hornets in the off season. He'll be sure to get some playing time since Jefferson is out

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Little Chief - "North Carolina"

Following in the footsteps of some indie/folk bands like Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and The Felice Brothers, here comes Litte Chief out of Fayetteville, AR. Formed in 2013 their new album Lion's Den has been turning some heads. "North Carolina" is from their first album Somewhere Near The River
