Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

My Prediction: The Lakers have now lost 6 of 8 games after Game 1’s 109-100 loss to the Hornets. They need more out of Bynum who was a -15 in Game 1. Chris Paul was brilliant the other night, scoring 33 points and dishing out 14 assists. I expect another big game out of him and for the Hornets to keep it close, but the Lakers pulling it out at the end to even the series. Double-digits is too big of a spread for a team that’s struggling like the Lakers.

Hornets +11.5
