The Los Angeles Lakers are a dog but have as many wins as underachieving Charlotte. The Lakers come off a win at Philadelphia as a +8.5 dog, 107-104. Brandon Ingram had 21 points, including the decisive three-pointer with 0.8 seconds left. While the Lakers are rested, Charlotte had to play last night, a 119-111 overtime loss at home to the NBA-worst Chicago Bulls as a big favorite. The Hornets have lost six of seven, including three times as chalk. They are 3-8 ATS against losing teams, as well as 7-18-1 ATS versus opponents with a winning percentage below .400. Charlotte is no bounce-back team, either, 2-8-1 ATS following a straight up loss, and the underdog is 20-6 ATS when these teams clash. Play the L.A. Lakers.
