Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets defeated the Kings 125-119 after snapping their eight-game losing run, which was the worst of their season thus far. They played a very strong game which remained close until the final period.
With his 31 points, Kelly Oubre Jr. essentially carried the team to their win. He was quite active during the last quarter on all areas of the court. They certainly didn’t want to lose their ninth game in a row, and they avoided it. The Hornets have only won four games on the road, most recently this one against the Kings. In this way, they’ll be hoping that the injury-plagued Lakers won’t enter the game with a strong pace and add another victory to one of the worst records in the league.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis won’t play in this game because of various physical constraints. For the Lakers, who are without three of their key players, that is devastating news.
LeBron puts up 27 points per game, Davis also averages 27.4 in the same log and Westbrook is arguably the best sixth man in the league, adding from the bench averages of 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists. You’ll see that without them, the Lakers are lost, as they account for over half of the team’s total offense.
Playing at home is undoubtedly an advantage for this game, despite the fact that they don’t have the besthome record (8–7) and that they have a difficult time winning games without LeBron and company. During the season, they had been missing only one or two of the crucial trio of players, but never all three.
JefeBet Prediction
We predict another upcoming victory for the Charlotte Hornets, considering that the Lakers have a hard time playing without their stars. Saving Westbrook, no other candidates could perform to the level required in the Angelino secondary. We are confident, then, that Charlotte will benefit from all of these conditions and enter the game stronger to secure a significant victory.
Prediction: Charlotte Hornets Moneyline.
