Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview

Playing the second leg of a back-to-back, the Charlotte Hornets will visit the Los Angeles Lakers at STAPLES Center on Thursday. The Hornets played at Denver last night, suffering a season-worst 129-104 defeat. However, Charlotte should still be confident, having put together a four-game winning streak prior to yesterday’s defeat. Elsewhere, the Lakers last played on Tuesday, defeating Minnesota 137-121 behind LeBron James’ 25-point, 12-rebound, 12-assist performance, making him the oldest player to record back-to-back triple-doubles in NBA history. As such, the club has now won four of its last five at STAPLES Center. Nevertheless, given he has averaged 34.1 points and 14.7 rebounds from his last seven appearances against Charlotte, the absence of Anthony Davis could be more keenly felt on Thursday.
