Charlotte at Los Angeles

What can you say about this Charlotte team? There is nothing positive in the win column over the last two years to create a false expectation here. Teams facing them have trouble getting their game up, knowing they have an easy win. They often allow them to stay in the game, as they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven when taking the bundle of +12.5 points or more. The Clippers will likely have more interest in their next opponent, Indiana, than to smother the hapless Bobcats in this one. That has proven to be the case with this up-and-coming team, as they have gone 1-5 ATS in their last six games vs. an opponent under .400, and the Bobcats 5-2 ATS here in the last seven meetings. Play on Charlotte.
