Hornets' Jackson Hurting

With his team on a four-game losing streak, Coach Byron Scott may need to juggle his rotation again for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls because of injuries.

Backup point guard Bobby Jackson, the team's fourth-leading scorer, could miss the game after his ribs were bruised in Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. The Hornets are listing him as questionable, but Jackson said Wednesday he likely won't play.

"It's real bad right now," said Jackson, who did not practice.

Stojakovic Drops Career High 42 In Win Over Bobcats

Peja Stojakovic scored a career-high 42 points and directed a decisive fourth-quarter run as the Hornets beat the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night, breaking a three-game losing streak.

"I just came out aggressive, playing like every other game. I got going, so guys kept looking for me," Stojakovic said. "I kept playing, I kept shooting the ball.

"I don't know how to describe it," said Stojakovic, who scored New Orleans' first 20 points of the game. "When you're a shooter, you just shoot it even when you're missing - just trying to get yourself involved in the game, and when you make a couple in a row your teammates start looking to you."
