Charlotte at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Lakers appear to be a team that is on the decline after years of success. While they are still good, they aren't the same dominant team, as they are playing rather poorly at just 3-5 over their last eight games. Charlotte at just 3-18 on the season certainly won't get the Lakers’ juices flowing here, especially looking ahead to a big game with Denver their next time on the floor. The Bobcats’ 3-18 mark says not competitive, but that is an illusion as they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games when taking +11 or more. The Lakers have been known to leave the "A" game in the locker room vs. bad teams as they are 16-42 ATS when trying to cover -11 or more. Take the points and play on Charlotte.
