Los Angeles at Charlotte

The Clip is in the midst of a road trip and I think this line looks a several points too high. The Clippers are struggling right now, having dropped five of their last six ballgames and look to get back on track against Charlotte, who is looking for the first three game win streak of the young franchises history. Home dawgs have done well thus far this season and I look for that trend to continue in this game. Maggette is out for the Clippers with a sprained foot, and he is a centerpiece for their perimeter offense. Look for Charlotte to take advantage of his absence here. Home teams off an upset win as a road underdog against an opponent off 2 consecutive road losses by 10 points or more are 28-4 (88%) since 1996. Two stars on the Bobcats.
