Once again heading for the depths of the NBA Draft lottery, the Charlotte Hornets have experienced a change of ownership but not a change of fortunes.

CHARLOTTE HORNETS VS LOS ANGELES LAKERS SAME-GAME PARLAY:

Los Angeles Lakers moneyline

It’s a no-brainer taking the Lakers to win here. They have struggled at times this year, but they have won on the road against the Celtics and Knicks in their last two. Charlotte has lost seven games on the trot, and have posted an ugly 3-17 straight-up record as a home dog. 

With Mark Williams, Gordon Hayward and LaMelo Ball unavailable, and Terry Rozier traded to the Heat, Charlotte is running out line ups with little to no chance against most of the league.

Los Angeles Lakers under 120.5 points

While we’re backing the Lakers to win, we’re not expecting a massive points total from Darvin Ham’s team. Charlotte is below average in pace this season and has conceded under this line in three of their last four.

Of their last six games decided in regulation, the Lakers have gone under this number on five occasions. 

Austin Reaves over 16.5 points

Bettors and bookies alike will be keeping their eyes on the health of Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Austin Reaves’ usage naturally increases with the two All-Stars off the floor, but the Newark native should get up plenty of shots even if Davis and LeBron play.

Reaves has now cleared this line in five of six. Regularly getting into the mid-teens in shot attempts over the last few weeks, we feel comfortable taking the over here.
