The Charlotte Hornets have lost five consecutive games, and have just won one of their last eight.

The Clippers will play the Hornets at the tail end of back-to-back games, after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, 107-91. In that game, Blake Griffin finished with a season-low 12 points on five-of-17 shooting and only four rebounds.

The Clippers are on a seven-game road trip. Before losing to the Grizzlies, they had beaten Orlando and Miami.

The Hornets remain without starting forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who will miss his seventh straight game with a stress reaction in his right foot. P.J. Hairston is out with a right ankle sprain.

Clippers' small forward Chris Douglas-Roberts is listed as questionable with a strained right Achilles' tendon.
