Charlotte Hornets vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview

On January 4, 2024, the Charlotte Hornets (8-27) face off against the Los Angeles Lakers (20-16) in a Thursday Night matchup at Crypto.com Arena, set to tip off at 10:30 PM ET. The Lakers enter this game as significant favorites, boasting a spread of -8.0 and a moneyline of -305, while the Hornets sit at +255 on the moneyline, reflecting an implied win probability of just 27%.

Traveling cross-country and across two time zones, the Hornets are at a distinct disadvantage, especially given their recent struggles. They've lost 24 of their last 30 games, although they managed to pull off an upset against the Phoenix Suns in their last outing, winning 115-104 despite being 5.0-point underdogs. This victory, however, is likely an outlier in a season marked by inconsistency.

Conversely, the Lakers have been relatively strong at home, winning 10 of their last 15 games in front of their fans. They will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 118-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, which snapped a brief winning streak. With the Lakers' 73% implied win probability and their solid home performance, they appear poised to capitalize on the Hornets' fatigue and recent form.

As the Hornets strive to build on their surprising win, they will need to overcome the challenges posed by both travel fatigue and a Lakers squad eager to return to winning ways. This matchup promises to be a compelling clash, with the odds heavily leaning in favor of Los Angeles.
