The banged-up New Orleans Hornets are struggling through their worst stretch of a once-promising season. Perhaps a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers can give their confidence a boost. In danger of losing an eighth straight road game, the Hornets look to extend a 12-game winning streak against the lowly Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. New Orleans is 7-14 since losing Chris Paul to a knee injury. The three-time All Star may be a week away from returning, but it’s too late for the Hornets to make a playoff push. Trailing eighth-place Portland by 7 1/2 games in the Western Conference, New Orleans has virtually taken itself out of the postseason race with its poor play. A loss to Los Angeles would give the Hornets eight straight road defeats for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

New Orleans has lost nine of 11 overall, allowing 108.9 points per game. The Hornets, though, have been much tougher defensively against the Clippers, surrendering an average of 90.2 points during their winning streak against them. The Clippers have lost seven straight overall entering their final contest with the Hornets this season. Still, even this might be a matchup too tough for an injury-riddled New Orleans team to overcome. The Hornets have dressed the league minimum eight players the past two games, including a 120-106 loss to Phoenix on Sunday night. Peja Stojakovic has missed three straight games and will miss at least another 10 days, and James Posey has been out the past two games due to flulike symptoms. Posey’s status is uncertain.
