The Hornets need Marc Jackson to step his game up even a little more than he already has done in April.  He’s played in 4 games this month and he’s averaged 32.5 minutes, 11.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.  The Hornets also need him to bring up his defensive game a tad with Tyson Chandler out because he’s the only really tall player the Hornets are giving big minutes to.  The Hornets are only 1 game out of the playoffs right now and the play of Jackson could determine whether they make the playoffs or watch them on TV.
