The Charlotte Hornets have strung together three straight lopsided victories and aim for their first four-game winning streak of the season when they open a three-game road trip at the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Kemba Walker led eight players in double figures with 21 points as the Hornets posted a 135-115 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.

After back-to-back losses to two of the better teams in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves will try their hand against one of the worst when they host the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in the front end of a home-and-home set. The Timberwolves had won four of five prior to an ugly 149-107 loss at Philadelphia on Tuesday, and they were edged 116-113 by San Antonio in a return home Friday.

A pair of teams heading in opposite directions in the Western Conference meet Sunday in San Antonio as the surging Spurs host the Los Angeles Clippers, losers of five straight. The Spurs have won eight of 11, a run that began when they knocked off the Clippers in Los Angeles on Dec. 29, after capping a 2-0 road trip with a 116-113 win at Minnesota on Friday.
