Charlotte at Los Angeles

The Charlotte Hornets desperately need a win as this once 19-15 team is a woeful 6-19 in their last 25 games. The struggling Lakers are losers of four straight, the last three by a combined 74 points. The simple facts is that the Lakers have been the better team over the last 25 played by each squad, so getting points here certainly falls in favor of the home team. That especially true with the Hornets at 3-18 straight-up in their last 21 road games, and just 1-13 SU in their last 14. The Lakers have been respectable at home with a 12-15 record, and 5-5 in their last 10. The Lakers own a 49-33 ATS mark outside the conference over the last three years, so take the points on LA.
