When to watch Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Lakers?

The Charlotte Hornets vs. Los Angeles Lakers will take place at the Spectrum Center in a battle of teams from different conferences, with the visitors as the clear favorite. The game starts at 1:00 a.m. SEC. 

Charlotte is the underdog of the game

The Charlotte team actually enters the game with absolutely nothing to lose. On the other hand, they may surprise the upstart Lakers. The team is not doing well at all this season and with a 10-38 record, they can forget about the playoffs. Moreover, their last 10 home games have ended in 9 losses.

The only bright spot in the last few days was that Brandon Miller was voted the best rookie of the month. Rather, the Hornets team can already focus on next season, trying different options and rotating players who haven’t been given as much space so far.

The Lakers are slowly picking themselves up

The team from Los Angeles has been teetering on the brink of making the playoffs virtually all season. With a 26-25 record, they are ninth in the Western Conference behind Dallas, which is led by Luka Doncic. The Lakers have been on the rise again in recent games. First, without the team’s biggest mainstays Davis and James, they surprisingly handled the Celtics and ended the New York Knicks’ winning streak with an already full roster. So Charlotte should be no problem for them.

Moreover, Lebron James is just over 200 points away from reaching the “immortality” mark, which is the 40,000 point mark. Even at 39, the ageless bard is averaging a remarkable 25 points per game, which marks his uniqueness. No one in history at such an advanced age has even averaged 20 points per game.

Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Lakers odds

The fact that the visiting team is the overwhelming favourite for the game is evident from the very low odds on them to win, which are below 1.20. Therefore, it is much better to bet on them to win in the fourth quarter or at halftime, where the odds are around 1.40 for this game.

Betting tip – Lebron James to score more than 24.5 points

When fully healthy, Lebron is always one of the team’s top scorers, a privilege he shares equally with younger teammate Anthony Davis. In this game, he could again cut more than 25 points from the deficit he has to break the 40,000 mark. It is also not impossible that he could become the top scorer of the game, he has already broken the 35 points per game mark this season.
