Hornets vs Lakers Picks and Predictions: Christmas Comes Early ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Charlotte Hornets at Los Angeles Lakers on December 23. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

The Lakers have been trending towards the Over lately too, and their defense has suffered without Davis (four Kings scored 20 or more points on Wednesday night in Sacramento). poured in 31 points in Monday’s win in Sacramento, and Ball does a terrific job of finding open shooters. That’s not just a byproduct of poor defense — the visitors have plenty of offensive punch. Schroder had a 30-point night against Phoenix earlier in the week, and the Lakers have shot at least 40% from 3-point range in three straight. Don’t go into this game expecting a lot of defense. His next-level playmaking is seemingly the biggest reason that the Hornets are only 3.5-point underdogs tonight. If you’re laying the points here, you can hang your hat on LeBron bringing his A-game. In fact, you have to go back to December 3 for the last time Charlotte held an opponent to fewer than 119 points. We should be in for a high-scoring battle tonight. have five more wins than the Hornets, who’ve had a wretched December, losing nine of their 11 games. LaMelo Ball is back, yet Charlotte was blown out by the Clippers on Wednesday despite his triple-double. They cannot afford a slip-up here against the struggling Charlotte Hornets.

Charlotte Hornets at Los Angeles Lakers: Odds, Injury Report ... (Swarm and Sting)

The Charlotte Hornets will play their second straight game in Los Angeles tonight, this time facing off against the Lakers.

However, if the Lakers have the services of LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, they should be able to win this contest based on sheer talent. LaMelo Ball has hit the ground running after missing time with an ankle injury; in five games since his return, he is averaging 25.8 points and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 43.1% from three-point range. Both the Hornets and Lakers tend to score in the paint at a high percentage. 49.3% of Charlotte’s scoring production comes in the paint, while 49.1% of Los Angeles’ scoring comes in the paint. Austin Reaves (right ankle sprain) is QUESTIONABLE. Hornets: Cody Martin (left knee procedure) is OUT.

Is LeBron James Playing Tonight Vs Hornets? Lakers Release Injury ... (The Sportsrush)

After a beatdown in Sacramento, the Lakers head back home to face the Hornets. Will LeBron James play tonight?

He’s had five straight 30+ point games but the Lakers cannot seem ways to capitalize on the same. The biggest question on every fan’s mind is whether LeBron James would suit up or not. The beatdown at Sacramento showed the team what is to come.

Three Things to Know: Lakers vs Hornets 12-23-22 (Lakers.com)

Davis wasn't the only player out for the Lakers in the last two games, as both Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves didn't play, on top of Juan Toscano- ...

Put in key bench player Terry Rozier for Oubre Jr., and that group has a net rating of +20.5, albeit in a tiny sample size of five minutes. LaMelo Ball has played only eight games, and Gordon Hayward 15, but both are back now, and helped the Hornets snap an eight-game losing streak with a win at Sacramento on Monday. Not a guy” recently, and Charlotte’s been better since; after they conceded a minimum of 120 points per 100 possessions for six straight December games, they’ve held their last three opponents under 115 points per 100 possessions. In that way, he could be more efficient both as a scorer and a playmaker. But they’re more dangerous than that mark implies, especially because they’re healthy for the first time all season. That left more playing time, and usage, for Dennis Schröder in particular.

It was close but no cigar for Los Angeles as they fell 117-114 to the Hornets when the two teams previously met in January. - Mar 18, 2021 - Los Angeles 116 vs. - Apr 13, 2021 - Los Angeles 101 vs. [NBA picks](https://www.sportsline.com/nba/picks/#ttag=SL19_lk_cbssports_nba_htw) for every single game, including this one, from SportsLine's advanced computer model.

They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware. The matchup between Los Angeles and the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Los Angeles falling 134-120 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. That's Ball's first triple-double of the season. The Hornets were in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 71-40. This Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.29 points per game.

NBA Odds: Hornets-Lakers prediction, odds and pick - 12/23/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Los Angeles Lakers host the Charlotte Hornets for the final matchup before Christmas. It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Hornets-Lakers ...

I think the Lakers hold on and narrowly defeat the Hornets in this game. The Lakers’ defense is horrendous right now and just allowed 134 to the Kings. The key for the Lakers will be to shut down Ball and Oubre. Both LeBron and Russell Westbrook are probable for tonight after giving it their all in the loss to the Kings. The Lakers are certainly asking Santa to heal all their foot/ankle injuries for Christmas. Ball has only played in eight games this year and has averaged 23.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 8.0 assists in the short span. The good news for LA is they are (8-7) at home and the Hornets only have four road wins all season long. LA is (13-18) on the season which has them 13th in the Western Conference behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. They have the second-worst record in the NBA at (8-24). He also leads the team in steals at 1.8 per game and so he is a valuable part of this lineup. The loss of It would take a Christmas miracle to turn this season around for the Hornets as only the Detroit Pistons have a worse record at (8-26).
