Jan 31, 2007 - 6:12 PM Philadelphia (14-32) at New Orleans (19-25) 8:00 pm EST

OKLAHOMA CITY (Ticker) -- David West and the New Orleans Hornets certainly have thrived at home lately.

The Hornets shoot for their fourth straight win and their seventh consecutive home victory Wednesday when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.

Thanks to another solid effort from West, the Hornets posted a 103-91 home triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.

West scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Tyson Chandler had 14 points, 16 boards and four blocks for the Hornets, who have not lost a home game since dropping a 100-90 decision to the Los Angeles Clippers on January 8.

Philadelphia lost on the road to Houston, 105-84, on Monday.

Andre Iguodala scored 19 points and Kyle Korver added 16 off the bench for the 76ers, who shot just 39 percent (34-of-88) from the field.

The Sixers have lost four straight road games against the Hornets but posted a 102-96 home victory on January 23 in the teams' only previous meeting this season.
