The Charlotte Hornets<\/strong> host the Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong> on Tuesday night at Time Warner Cable Arena in North Carolina. The Hornets are in the hunt for one of the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, and a win against the lowly Lakers on Tuesday will go a long way in helping their cause.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> (16-42) at Charlotte Hornets<\/a> (24-33)<\/strong> Click here to view…\u00a0NBA ATS Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Expert NBA Betting Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Lakers won the last meeting between these teams back on Nov. 7, a win that snapped a five-game losing streak to open the season for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n They enter this matchup having won three of four, with their last game at the Oklahoma City Thunder snapping a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n A big reason for the Lakers\u2019 improved play of late has been the result of strong efforts from point guard Jeremy Lin, who is averaging 17 points on 30-of-60 shooting over the last five games. Jordan Clarkson has also stepped up his game in a big way, coming off a terrific month of February in which he averaged 13.8 points on 47.7 percent shooting. Over the last four games he\u2019s hit on 26 of 47 shots.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n As for the Hornets, they got back big man Bismack Biyombo from an 11-game absence Sunday. He\u2019ll help ease the rebounding burden on fellow big man Al Jefferson, whose field-goal percentage currently sits at the lowest mark of his 11-year pro career.<\/p>\n The Lakers are playing better than what we\u2019ve come to expect from them, and the Hornets are having trouble generating offense, which will make building a margin difficult. Los Angeles is simply getting too many points in this one.<\/p>\n Additionally, the under has been very kind to bettors when these teams hit the court, and the venue will go a long way in helping that cause on this night.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The under is 7-2 in the Hornets\u2019 last nine home games, and it is 11-3-1 in the Lakers\u2019 last 15 road games.<\/p>\n\n
