New Orleans is struggling right now losers of three of their past four games. The club has struggled scoring this season with an average of just 94.8 points per game.
This will set up for a solid game for the Lakers in the interior as Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol will get plenty of touches near the bucket for high percentage shots.
LA settled for way too many jump shots in their loss to the Spurs on Thursday night and look for the Lakers to correct this as they utilize their size and length in this spot against and undersized opponent.
The Lakers have had success this season against with two straight up wins against the Hornets when they were full strength and healthy.
With their two starters from their rotation out of the lineup it will expose the Hornets lack of depth on their bench.
It will be a good night for the LA Lakers on the boards and in their stat lines as they will shoot at a high percentage tonight leading to a comfortable win and cover against an injury riddled Hornets club.
