The Charlotte Hornets invade the Crypto.com Arena to take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. Here’s a Hornets vs Clippers Prediction.

Charlotte Hornets 

The Charlotte Hornets have been in a real slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games and they will be hoping to put an end to a seven-game slide after getting beaten by the Nuggets in a 102-95 loss on Saturday. Miles Bridges led the team with 22 points, PJ Washington added 20 points with eight rebounds off the bench while Nick Smith Jr chipped in with 19 points off the bench. As a team, the Hornets shot 38 percent from the field and eight of 28 from the 3-point line as they poured in 60 points in the first half to take the lead against the Nuggets, only to go ice-cold and score just nine points in the third quarter to fall behind by 18 points. The Hornets will open a six-game road trip on Tuesday. Following this one, they will meet the Lakers, SUns, Nuggets, Kings, and Bulls.

Los Angeles Clippers 

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers look to have cooled off from their nine-game win streak as they are now hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting thrashed by the Celtics in a 145-108 loss on Saturday. Paul George led the team in scoring with 21 points on nine of 17 shooting, Ivica Zubac added 16 points with 10 rebounds on seven of nine shooting while Daniel Theis chipped in with 15 points on five of five shooting off the bench. As a team, the Clippers shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line, but the writing was on the wall early in this one after the Clippers leaked 40 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 17 poitns going into halftime.

Hornets vs Clippers Prediction

The Clippers could be shorthanded again in this one with Kawhi Leonard listed as questionable, while the Hornets are coming into this meeting with the same squad. The Hornets have been stuck in a major slump lately and they will be kicking themselves after blowing a lead against the Nuggets in their last outing. The Clippers have dropped their last two games and they just got destroyed by the Celtics in a 37-point loss, but I think they bounce back here regardless of whether Leonard plays or not. The Hornets are just finding ways to lose at the moment and I think the Clippers are good enough to bounce back at home in this one.
