The Los Angeles Clippers (46-27) travel to the Charlotte Hornets (18-55). The Clippers have won two in a row. Meanwhile, the Hornets are fresh off a double-digit loss to the Golden State Warriors. But the Hornets cut to relatively close as they only lost by nine in late December to the Clippers earlier in the season.
But will the Hornets be able to keep it close at home and beat the spread?

Key Stats
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers pulled off an impressive win against the Orlando Magic on the road. Staying on the East Coast, they will face a Charlotte Hornets team that is not as good or talented as either they or their last opponent were. Kawhi Leonard averages 23.7 points per game, and Ivica Zubac averages 9.0 rebounds per game. Finally, James Harden averages 8.5 assists per game.
Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte is led in scoring by Miles Bridges. Bridges averages 21.1 points per game. Meanwhile, Nick Richards leads the team in rebounding. Richards averages 8.3 rebounds per game. This should be a tough matchup all around for the Charlotte Hornets. But if all of the pieces come together and their best players have good to great nights, then keeping it close against the Los Angeles Clippers would be possible, but only if everything lines up right.

Game Prediction
The Los Angeles Clippers are more than capable of pulling off a big win here. However, this Charlotte team can play well, and they have certain frontcourt matchups to not only match what Los Angeles is doing, but they can also take advantage on the offensive side. Therefore, because it’s at home, I am picking the Charlotte Hornets to only cover the spread.
Final Pick
Charlotte Hornets +15.5
