In fact, the Hornets are just 1-7 in their last eight games against the Thunder at home. 

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City received a tough blow on Thursday as the Thunder fell 110-97 to Memphis. A silver lining for the Thunder was the play of point guard Chris Paul, who dropped a double-double with 23 points and 11 assists along with six boards. For the season, Paul is averaging 16.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. 

Two offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Hornets are third worst in the league in points per game, with only 104.2 on average.
