Byron Scott comes to the Meadowlands for the first time since he was fired in January as his New Orleans Hornets take on the Nets. The Hornets are really hurting with Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn, Jamaal Magloire and Rodney Rogers all on the injured list, the team has lost 8 straight games, and holds the worst record in the NBA. The Nets may be missing Alonzo Mourning who is suffering from several nagging injuries, and will ask more of both Aaron Williams and Nenad Krstic. Jason Kidd, looking to get back into gear, will probably be limited to just 20 minutes of playing time again.
