Hornets vs Clippers Prediction

We’ve been fading the Clippers for the last couple of weeks, and it’s paid off, as this team can’t find easy offense outside of Harden. The Clippers are now being asked to play at one on the East Coast. A team with a west coast body clock. This should be fun. The Hornets are racking up the losses themselves, but their injury report is getting better, so we’ll see how they look with more guys back in the mix. The Clippers are 1-6 SU on the road. Give me the Hornets in this near pick em spot.
