The Los Angeles Lakers look to snap a two-game slump on Thursday when they host the Charlotte Hornets at crypto.com Arena. The Lakers absorbed back-to-back setbacks at the hands of Southwest powerhouses Houston Rockets 115-119 and the Dallas Mavericks 97-118. LeBron James is still productive despite turning 40 several days ago. The four-time MVP flirted with a triple-double in the last two games, posting 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists against Houston and 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists against Dallas. The Hornets ended a 10-game skid with a 115-104 win over the slumping Phoenix Suns on January 7. LaMelo Ball, one of the top vote-getters in the latest All-Star voting returns, was sensational in that win as he racked up 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists.
