Very confusing. It has nothing on the Hornets, but according to the other sites, the Hornets have four key players injured:

West, Stojakovic, Chandler, and Posey.

Anyone know wtf is going on?

Posey, Stojakovic, and Chandler missed the game.

But West played and he was the reason NO won and covered.

Chris Paul had 30 points and 14 assists, David West added 19 points, and the New Orleans Hornets moved closer to the top of the Southwest Division by beating the Los Angeles Clippers 104-98 on Wednesday night. The Hornets are just one game behind idle San Antonio in the Southwest Division and a half-game behind Houston, which lost in Phoenix.
Eric Gordon scored 11 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including a jumper that put Los Angeles ahead by one. Zach Randolph added 24 for the Clippers, who lost their ninth straight to New Orleans.
The Hornets had a 10-point lead early in the fourth, but the Clippers fought back to take the lead midway through the quarter. The teams traded baskets down the stretch until Paul hit a 20-footer from the left side of the key to put the Hornets ahead for good, 98-95.
West played with a sore left ankle and seemed to be struggling with his mobility at times, most notably when he couldn't catch Fred Jones in transition after a turnover in the third. But he played 44 minutes.
Hornets coach Byron Scott had planned to sit West, who was hurt Tuesday in Sacramento, but allowed him to play because West said the ankle wasn't bothering him.

I took a bad number on the Hornets waiting to see what would come out as injuries...West was downgraded to doubtful 4 hours before the game and was able to come through with one hell of a performance for being hobbled. Without West in I would have been on the Clips. Was still a tossup until CP3 time...could have went either way.
