Los Angeles at Charlotte

The Charlotte Hornets were considered a contender for a playoff spot in the East, but this team has completely fallen apart. They were at one point 19-15 on the season, but have won just 4 of their last 17 games to drop five games under .500 and their playoff hopes are quickly getting away from them. The Clippers have struggled, but at one point were playing without Blake Griffin and Chris Paul - their top two players. Griffin is back and molding back into game shape, so I expect LA will start elevating their level of play. After allowing fewer than 100 points in five straight games,  the Hornets have since allowed 118.1 points per game in their last 10. Play on the LA Clippers.
