The San Antonio Spurs are back home as they host the Charlotte Hornets, who could see a major player return to the lineup tonight at Frost Bank Center.

LaMelo Ball, who has sat the past 20 games for the Hornets, could return tonight for Charlotte. This would give the Hornets, who are 3-17 since Ball's injury, a massive reprieve.

Tonight's game also marks the first regular season battle between the top two picks from this year's draft ... Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller.

Wembanyama is reaching new heights, especially after clinching a triple-double in Wednesday's win against the Detroit Pistons. Meanwhile, Miller hasn't made waves quite as large as Wembanyama, but he's putting together a solid rookie campaign with 14.4 points per game.

Here's everything you need to know for today's game ...
