The Charlotte Hornets (17-49) visit the Los Angeles Clippers (37-30) on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at the Intuit Dome.

The Clippers are riding a good momentum as of late, having won five of their last six games. During that span, they have produced a 121.5 offensive rating, an eight-point jump from their season average of 113.1. Plus, they're averaging an excellent 62.3% True Shooting, including 40.7% from three-point territory.

The Hornets are no pushovers, either. They've won three of their last four games, including a 145-134 high-scoring win against the San Antonio Spurs. In that span, Hornets star forward Miles Bridges averaged 28.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. He's also hitting 43.8% of his 8.0 three-point attempts per game.

The Clippers might be without their second-leading scorer Norman Powell, who has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury. That will be 23.8 points gone from the Clippers' arsenal.

Still, the Clippers are favored to win this match against the Hornets. James Harden is recently in MVP form and Kawhi Leonard's two-way play provides a spark. It could be a close game, but the Clippers have the tools to pull this off.

Our LA Clippers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

After enduring a nine-game losing streak, the Hornets have won three of their last four games. They held the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat to only 102 points during that span. Plus, their top two stars in Bridges and LaMelo Ball have been producing dynamic stat lines.

Moreover, the Clippers only had a winning margin of eight points in their first matchup with the Hornets. This is looking like a close game, with the Clippers still winning. Our prediction for the Los Angeles Clippers vs Charlotte Hornets match is: Hornets (+12.5) cover the spread.
