The Los Angeles Lakers play the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Can the Lakers win at least half of their games while Anthony Davis is out with his foot injury? So far, they’ve won only one of their three games without him, and they’ve lost two in a row.
Defense has been their biggest culprit, as they gave up 130 points to the Phoenix Suns on Monday and 134 to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
The Hornets have been struggling mightily this season, as they hold the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference at 8-24. They rank 27th in defensive rating and 30th in offensive rating, and they’ve dropped 10 of their last 12 contests.
