The under is 9-4 in Lakers last 13 overall. The under is 10-3 in Hornets last 13 overall. The Lakers are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Charlotte and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Los Angeles Lakers are still dealing with a ton of injuries and usually playing on the end of a back to back is where it hurts the most. The Charlotte Hornets have injuries of their own, but they’ve been doing a better job of treading water and do win in the favorite role by an average of 5.9 points. With the rest advantage and being at home, I’ll give the Hornets the edge in this toss up contest.
