The Lakers are like fool's gold. You see a team with James and Davis, and wonder why they play up and down, but never seem to put themselves a great distance from a .500 team. The Lakers have a scoring margin of +2 on the season, which says .500 team. They can struggle at times because the defense is poor, allowing teams to shoot 48% on the season and 36% from three. Charotte is 8-27 on the season, so they won't have the Lakers up to play them. Charlotte doesn't draw the best out of their opponents and it is why they 9-7 ATS on the road. That alone is more ATS wins on the road than the team's overall wins (8). Grab the points with Charlotte.
