Los Angeles is in the middle of a 7 game losing streak, and is desperately in need of a win. However, their opponents, the Charlotte Hornets, are in a similar situation. The Hornets are in the middle of a 6 game losing streak, having just lost an embarrassing game against the Chicago Bulls last night.<\/p>\n<p>Two teams will look to put their losing streak behind them tonight, in a battle of desperate must-wins. Both teams are so similar, that it should be make for an interesting match up tonight. Both teams have the same record (5-9), defensive rating (106.9 PPG), the 3 point percentage (35.7%), and nearly identical assists per game (LAC = 19.7 &amp; CHA = 19.6).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difference between the teams is that Charlotte does not turnover the ball. The Hornets are a top 3 team at protecting the ball, averaging only 13.5 turnovers per game. While there are slight differences in their offensive ratings &amp; rebounds, they&#8217;re similar enough to not highlight.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest question mark for tonight&#8217;s game is whether or not Kemba Walker will be playing. Kemba Walker has been downgraded to questionable for tonight&#8217;s game, which is a big deal for Charlotte. Walker just came off an incredible game against Chicago, putting up: 47 points (17\/27 FGs), 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and 1 turnover.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight&#8217;s game between identical teams will truly come down to who wants it more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Clippers look to recuperate 24 hours after their devastating loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":769834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[605037376,703639074,1],"tags":[2356075,736149,3823063,104105],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.6 (Yoast SEO v22.6) -
