The Charlotte Hornets are getting it together, winning two of the last three. They come off their biggest win of the season, 111-100, as a +10 dog at the Warriors as center Dwight Howard was a beast with 29 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists. Howard has three straight double-doubles. Charlotte faces an up and down Los Angeles Clippers squad that is #19 defensively in points allowed. Clippers guard Austin Rivers suffered a strained right Achilles on Friday and is day-to-day. Los Angeles is also without forward Danilo Gallinari, and they've already lost guard Patrick Beverley for the season. Losing NBA teams like Charlotte, off a road win as a dog, are 80-48 ATS when the line is between -3 and +3. Charlotte won the first meeting, 102-87, and the Clippers are 34-61 ATS after two consecutive covers as a favorite. Play Charlotte.
