New Orleans at Los Angeles

The Lakers have worn the “invincibility tag” at home on the season where they are 18-1. They have won five straight overall and on this home stand, The Lake Show is 4-0 SU and ATS, and that includes Boston and Portland, so we have a great team playing at their best right now. The Hornets are having a good season, but they have really struggled on the road against the NBA "heavyweights.” They have already suffered ego bruising losses on the road to Portland by 15, Boston by 12, Orlando by 20 and Houston by nine. They are a terrible 1-12 ATS in their last 13 as a 5-10.5 point underdog, showing just how much they have struggled against the light teams in the NBA. It is hard to see that pattern changing against a Lakers’ team that is on a roll. The Lakers get the call here.
