KEY MATCHUP

Walker vs. Lowry

The Hornets’ guard has tortured Toronto in the past and will likely feel he has something to prove while going against an Eastern Conference all-star.

NEED TO KNOW

It was unclear if the Raptors would have newly-acquired Serge Ibaka in the lineup. He and Terrence Ross will have to pass physicals with their new teams before the trade becomes official. . . . The Hornets have lost three in a row and had dropped to 10th in the East heading into Tuesday night. . . . Toronto was routed by the Hornets earlier this season in Charlotte, but has won the last three meetings between the teams at the Air Canada Centre. . . . Ex-Raptor Marco Belinelli averages 11 points per game for Charlotte.

UP NEXT

All-star break, then Feb. 24 vs. Boston, 8 p.m.
