Mired in their worst losing streak in more than a year, the road-weary Toronto Raptors have to be feeling good about returning home for their longest stay north of the border. Chris Godwin Jersey . The Atlantic Division-leading Raptors hope to end their skid with a season-best sixth consecutive home victory Thursday night when they take on red-hot Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets. Catch all the action on TSN 1050 in Toronto starting at 7pm et. Toronto rolled to the best record in the Eastern Conference during an 8-1 stretch before dropping three in a row to close out a season-high six-game road swing. Its the clubs longest skid since losing five straight from Nov. 26-Dec. 6, 2013. Its three games, point guard Kyle Lowry said after Sundays 125-109 loss at Phoenix. Everybody loses games. We werent going to go 82 and 0 and we werent going to break the Bulls record at 72 and 10. Since allowing a 44.3 field-goal percentage over its previous 10 games, Toronto let Golden State shoot 53.3 percent in Fridays 126-105 defeat and the Suns to make 53.9 percent. The Raptors (24-7) have played much better on that end during their winning streak at Air Canada Centre, surrendering just 96.0 points per game on 44.4 percent shooting. They may have to continue that effort to extend their run at home to a half-dozen for the first time since last January. Theyre also looking to snap a four-game losing streak against the Hornets (13-24) in the opener of a six-game homestand. Toronto will likely focus on containing Walker after he finished with 31 points and hit an 11-foot jumper off the glass with 1.4 seconds left to lift Charlotte to a 98-94 home victory over New Orleans on Wednesday. With Al Jefferson sidelined due to a strained groin, Walker has been the teams primary scoring option with 31.3 points per game on 23.7 field-goal attempts in his past three. He scored 29 points in the most recent meeting in Toronto on Dec. 18, 2013, sinking a jumper at the overtime buzzer for a 104-102 victory. Charlotte is 11-3 when Walker eclipses the 30-point plateau. The difference now is that hes shooting the ball better, coach Steve Clifford said. Hes really played at a very high level all year. Earlier in the year, he didnt shoot the ball as well but he spent so much time working on it in the summer that I was confident he would get it going. Gerald Henderson has contributed 14.5 points per game in his last six as he fills in for the injured Lance Stephenson. Hes averaged 18.6 points in his last five meetings with the Raptors. The Hornets have been on quite a roller coaster ride over the past three weeks. Following a season-high four-game winning streak from Dec. 19-23, they dropped five in a row before regrouping to win their last three. Charlotte has been solid defensively, allowing an average of 92.5 points in its last four games. Itll be tested against a Toronto team that has scored 110.7 per game over its past seven despite missing second-leading scorer DeMar DeRozan (groin), who could return Saturday. Lowry has stepped up by averaging 25.8 points and making 15 of 36 from 3-point range in his last six games, while reserve guard Lou Williams has totaled 37 in his past two. Ali Marpet Jersey .C. -- LeBron James called comments on an audio recording of a man identified as Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling "appalling" and said hes not sure if he would suit up for the remainder of the NBA playoffs if he played for the Clippers. Adarius Glanton Jersey .The McLaren MP4-30 was launched on Thursday, with chief executive Ron Dennis saying it marks the start of a lengthy journey back to winning grands prix and eventually world championships.McLaren, which hasnt won a grand prix since 2012, will be using Honda engines for the first time since 1992, and has signed two-time world champion Fernando Alonso to partner Jenson Button for the upcoming season. http://www.authenticbuccaneersstoreonline.com/Black-32-Jacquizz-Rodgers-Womens-Jersey/ . Cammalleri scored two goals, Corban Knight netted the winner in a shootout, and the Flames erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Stars 4-3 on Friday night.The Sacramento Kings got some much-needed depth at point guard and a possible backup plan if they lose starter Isaiah Thomas in free agency. The Kings and Darren Collison agreed to a three-year contract worth about $16 million Thursday, a person familiar with the deal said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because teams cant officially sign free agents until the NBAs moratorium on moves is lifted July 10. The Los Angeles Times first reported the agreement. Collison opted out of the final year of his contract with the Clippers that would have paid him $1.9 million next season. He averaged 11.4 points and 3.7 assists in 25.9 minutes last season, primarily as Chris Pauls backup. Collison has been a starter at times throughout his career since New Orleans drafted him 21st overall in 2009 out of UCLA, including 35 games last season while Paul was injured. He also played two seasons with Indiana and one in Dallas before helping the Clippers reach the second round of the playoffs. Clippers coach and president of basketball operations Doc Rivers had called Collison the teams No. 1 priority in free agency. Instead, Collison left for a big pay raise in Californias capital city and possibly even a chance to start. With so much money already committed to DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay next season, the Kings chances of keeping Thomas already were going to be tough thhis summer. Ryan Smith Jersey. Thomas, the last pick of the 2011 draft who has become a fan favourite in Sacramento, has worked his way into being a full-time starter who averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists last season. The market for ball-handling guards also has been a booming one this summer. Shaun Livingston left the Brooklyn Nets for a three-year, $16 million deal with Golden State. Kyle Lowry has a contract in place to return to Toronto reportedly worth $48 million over four years, and Kyrie Irving agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract extension with Cleveland. Because Thomas is a restricted free agent, the Kings can match any offer he receives. Whether they will -- or can afford to do so -- remains unclear. The Kings also are counting on some of their young guards to blossom. Last years second-round pick, point guard Ray McCallum, showed signs of improving when he played bigger minutes in the final weeks of the season. And Sacramento has drafted a shooting guard with its last two first-round picks, Ben McLemore (seventh overall) out of Kansas last year and Michigans Nik Stauskas (eighth overall) this June. Owner Vivek Ranadive, general manager Pete DAlessandro and coach Michael Malone have made as many moves as any team in the league since taking over the Kings last year, so its also possible Sacramento could shuffle its roster with more trades again this summer.
