The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Charlotte Hornets tonight for the first time this season. Here is all the information you need to watch the game!

The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a big victory on Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. It snapped their five-game losing streak and got their east coast trip off on the right foot. Tonight, that east coast trip continues with a visit to the Charlotte Hornets.

This will be the first matchup between the Lakers and Hornets this season. The Lakers will be looking to snap another five-game losing streak tonight, as Charlotte has defeated them in five consecutive games. The last time the Lakers defeated the Hornets was November 9th, 2014.

Both teams enter tonight’s matchup with identical 9-15 records. While the Lakers won their last game, the Hornets come into the game on a two-game losing streak.

Charlotte is in the midst of a four-game homestand, as tonight’s matchup with the Lakers is the final game of the homestand. The Hornets won the first game of their homestand against the Orlando Magic, but have lost the past two games. The Golden State Warriors defeated them on Wednesday, while the Chicago Bulls defeated them in overtime Friday.

Tonight will feature some intriguing matchups. Lonzo Ball had a good game against the 76ers on Wednesday. Tonight he will have a tough matchup with the quick Kemba Walker.

On the interior, Brook Lopez against Dwight Howard will be one to keep an eye on. Howard is having a good season in his first with the Hornets, averaging 15.5 points and 12.5 rebounds. He is also averaging 1.3 blocks per game.

Lopez hasn’t been as productive offensively as the Lakers had hoped, averaging 13.2 points and making only 29.5 percent of his 3-point attempts. However, he is providing rim protection, averaging 1.67 blocks per game.

Both teams are looking to get back into the playoff picture in their respective conferences and could use a win. The Lakers are three games out of a playoff spot, while the Hornets are four.
