Sunday, October 27 finds the Charlotte Hornets and Los Angeles Lakers facing each other at Staples Center. This is the third game of the season for both clubs. Both clubs have split their two previous games giving them a 1-1 record on the season.
Last season, the Lakers swept the two games the clubs played. The Lakers hold the all-time record having bested the Hornets in 35 of their 58 matches.
Charlotte Hornets
This squad is destined to be lottery bound but in the interim, they’ll use each of their 82 games to isolate which youngsters to build around and if there are any potential stars on the team.
Rookie PJ Washington is already staking his claim with two strong performances in as many outings. In the victory over the Bulls, Washington scored 27 points and wowed with seven 3-pointers.
Although the loss to the Timberwolves wasn’t as strong as his debut he still posted a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Devonte’ Graham was the leading scorer for the Hornets with 24 while Terry Rozier posted a double-double of 11 points and 10 assists. Miles Bridges was the third double-digit scoring registering 17 points.
The two outings showcased the strategy of this young Hornets club who excels in transition but stumble if the pace is slowed or if they can’t get stops to get out and run.
Nic Batum suffered an avulsion fracture on his third finger of his left hand which will cause him to miss up to four weeks with a return date of late November expected.
Cody Zeller missed the last game but is expected to play against the Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers
Only a trio of Lakers scored in double digits versus the Utah Jazz but it was enough to garner a 95-86 victory. That trio was led by LeBron James who dropped 32 along with 10 rebounds (and 7 assists) for the double-double effort.
Anthony Davis scored 21 points and added 7 rebounds while Troy Daniels scored 15 points.
The second game featured Davis at center instead of JaVale McGee or Dwight Howard. Davis said he is fine playing the role which is in contrast to his past statements of preferring to play at power forward.

It will be interesting to see if the Lakers stick with this strategy and how well Davis fares having to deal with the bigger bodies in the league on a nightly basis.
The Lakers have a quartet of players on the injury list and only Rajon Rondo (calf) could be back Sunday. Kyle Kuzma (stress reaction/ankle), Talen Horton-Tucker (stress reaction/foot) are both out for an undetermined time.
DeMarcus Cousins is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
The question isn’t if the Lakers will win but by how much. This should be a blowout but the Hornets showed in their opening game they will fight tooth and nail so LA can’t afford to underestimate this rebuilding Charlotte club.
