The Charlotte Hornets play host to the Los Angeles Clippers in this Saturday afternoon tip off in the NBA. The Hornets are sitting 12th in the East with a 4-11 record while the Clippers are 13th in the West at 4-11. Here’s our match prediction.

Charlotte returns home looking to put an end to a four-game losing streak. They were unsuccessful in a quick two-game road trip, losing 110-108 to the Raptors before their 127-118 defeat to the Pacers on Wednesday.

It’s been a really tough stretch for the hosts who have now lost seven of their last eight overall. On the plus side, the Hornets will have Lamelo Ball, Miles Bridges and promising rookie Kon Knueppel ready to go here. The trio is the team’s three leading scorers and has combined for 62.2 points per game.

It’s safe to say the Kawhi experiment has crashed and burned in Los Angeles. When he’s on the court, there’s been no denying Leonard’s talent. The problem is, he simply hasn’t been available enough during his six seasons with the team. 

He’ll miss out yet again here as the Clippers try to halt a three-game slide. November has not been kind to Los Angeles as they’ve lost nine of their last 10 games following their 129-101 road defeat to the Magic.
