Hornets vs Lakers Prediction
The Hornets aren’t winning or covering numbers, as they’re 1-5 SU and ATS in their last 6 games. It doesn’t help they’re down their best player in Ball. The Lakers are 7-3 SU and ATS in their first 10 games, and there’s a chance they’ll have Reaves back. I had the Hornets as a sleeper playoff team entering the season, but they’re not defending right now, and injuries are playing a big role as well. I can’t get behind the Hornets in their current form. Give me the Lakers in a comfortable road win.
