Charlotte Hornets vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Prediction

The Hornets have dropped three of their last four games but have been competitive in every contest. Charlotte will be playing its third game of a four-game home stand in tonight’s contest.

The Lakers have won two of their last three games and will be playing their fifth straight road contest before heading back to Los Angeles.

While the Hornets did manage to beat the Lakers in Los Angeles just 10 days ago, Kelly Oubre Jr.’s 19 points had a large role to play in that outcome. For a Hornets team that struggles to score, Oubre Jr.’s absence will prove to be too much to overcome.
