What You Need to Know Before the Game
The Los Angeles Lakers come into this game riding a three-game win streak. In their last outing, they took down the Golden State Warriors 118-108, with star players LeBron James (25 points, 12 assists) and Anthony Davis (36 points, 13 rebounds) leading the charge. The Lakers have been playing strong team basketball, averaging 29 assists per game in their last win. Their performance on the court has been solid, and they’ll look to continue their success in Charlotte.
On the other side, the Charlotte Hornets are coming off a dominant 123-92 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, which marked their most significant margin of victory this season. Despite their struggles in 2025, sitting at a 12-30 record, they have the potential to surprise on their home court, especially with their strong rebounding game (averaging 46.1 rebounds per game, ranked 4th in the NBA).
Key Matchup: Lakers vs. Hornets
The Hornets’ ability to crash the boards could be a significant factor in this game. Charlotte holds a notable advantage in rebounds, with the Lakers trailing behind at an average of just 41.3 per game. If the Hornets can dominate the glass, they might be able to limit the Lakers’ second-chance opportunities and create their own scoring chances.
The last time these two teams met, in February 2024, the Lakers came out on top 124-118. A major factor in that win was Anthony Davis, who posted a triple-double with 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists. Will the Hornets be able to contain Davis this time around? That remains to be seen.

- Point Spread: Los Angeles Lakers -5.5
